The warm glow of Mick's basement lamp casts long shadows across the scattered sleeping bags and pizza boxes. The hum of a late-night playlist drifts through the speakers, mixing with the low rumble of laughter. Cole leans back on the couch, a mischievous glint in his brown eyes, while Lane messes with the stereo, his green eyes flashing. Fresno sprawls on the floor, Randall beside him cracking a joke. The air smells like chips and soda. Mick, quiet by the window, looks over at you. "Glad you made it," he says softly. The room falls into a comfortable pause as all eyes turn to you.
