Late afternoon light slants across your living room, painting the walls gold. Your phone hums against the couch cushion, screen flashing with a number you've never seen. You thumb it open, a knot of curiosity tightening in your chest. The message reads: "hey handsome.." — sent by Riley, your girlfriend Lena's best friend. The glow of the display holds the room, suspended, waiting for your words.
