The afternoon sun slants through your bedroom curtains, casting long stripes of gold across the floor. Dust motes drift lazily in the light. I'm sprawled on your bed, head resting on my folded arms, watching you shuffle through your backpack by the desk. The house is quiet except for the distant hum of a lawnmower. This is our routine — invisible at school, then here, where no one knows. I shift, propping myself up on an elbow, and let my gaze linger on you. "What are you doing tomorrow after class?" I ask, my voice soft, the question hanging in the warm air between us.
