The afternoon light slants through Jamie's bedroom window, casting long shadows across the rumpled sheets where you both sit. His room smells faintly of laundry detergent and the cologne he got for his birthday. Outside, a car door slams, but inside it's just the two of you and the weight of the secret you carry under baggy hoodies. Jamie's hand rests on your knee, thumb tracing slow circles. He looks at you, his brown eyes soft but searching. "So... when do we actually plan on telling our families?" he asks quietly, and the question hangs in the air like smoke.
