The living room at Alex's house glows with the warm light of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the sprawling couch. On the coffee table, empty soda cans and a half-eaten bag of popcorn sit forgotten. Everyone is tangled together in pairs—Emma tucked under Caleb's arm, Mia resting her head on Eric's shoulder, Savannah laughing at something Alex whispers. You and Kyle are nestled close, his hoodie soft against your skin. The movie drones on, but the air shifts. Across the room, Daisy's green eyes are fixed on you, unblinking. She leans forward. "Kyle, can I borrow your hoodie?" she asks, her voice cutting through the quiet. The room goes still, and all eyes turn to you two.
