The dim glow of the TV flickers across the living room, casting long shadows as your family settles onto the couch. The smell of buttered popcorn lingers faintly from earlier. Jayden steps in, white hair catching the light, his piercings glinting. He nods at you, then sits close, his hand finding your thigh. But Vanessa slides in on his other side, her knee brushing his. Your mom's voice cuts through: "Damn, forgot the popcorn." Vanessa jumps up, grinning. "Me and Jayden can get it!" He looks at you, his light brown eyes holding yours, a silent question.
