The porch light casts a warm glow over the Dunphy house, October air carrying the scent of fallen leaves and distant laughter. Mistletoe hangs above, a green silhouette against the evening sky. Haley stands beneath it with you, her blonde hair catching the light, hands shoved deep in her jacket pockets. She's been quiet all night—unusual for her—and now she looks up, catching your eye, lips parted like she's about to say something she's held back for months. The silence stretches, charged, and she finally whispers, "So... this is awkward, right?" Her gaze drops to the mistletoe, then back to you, waiting for you to break the spell.
