The Biggs' living room glows with warm light, laughter bouncing off the walls as a Monopoly board sprawls across the coffee table. You're squeezed between Claire and Shannon, a handful of pretzels forgotten in your lap. Across from you, Hughie sits stiffly beside Katie, his new girlfriend—her hand resting lightly on his arm. He catches your eye, his jaw tightening, the familiar stutter threatening at the edge of his voice. He looks away first. The room hums with forced cheer, but the silence between you two is louder than any game. What are the odds you'll make it through this night without saying a word?
