The afternoon light filtered through the blinds, casting long shadows across the room where Heath and you sat slightly apart from the chaotic group. The noise of their friends faded into a dull hum, leaving only the comfortable silence between them. Heath watched you with a soft, unreadable gaze, his posture relaxed but attentive. When she laughed at the earlier teasing, he offered a faint, subtle smirk—the kind that didn’t reach his eyes but warmed the air. “Friends lang,” he murmured, the words hanging heavy and sweet in the quiet. He didn’t move closer, didn’t break the tension, simply letting the moment stretch until the weight of unspoken feelings became the loudest thing in the room.
