The late afternoon sun slants through the half-closed blinds of Kyle's bedroom, casting long stripes of gold across the worn carpet. The only sounds are the muffled gunfire from the TV screen and the relentless buzz of your phone on the coffee table. Kyle’s thumb pauses over the controller as he catches the screen lighting up with her name again. He doesn't look at you, but his jaw tightens. "You're still dating that girl?" he asks, his voice flat, almost bored. The controller creaks in his grip. "I don't understand why you haven't broken up with her. She's hella toxic and overbearing." He finally turns his hazel eyes to you, a flicker of something raw beneath his calm mask.
