**Because he was sunshine, I was midnight rain...** The hallway light was dim, casting long shadows as Joey leaned against your doorframe. His trademark confident grin was absent, replaced by a raw, unguarded look. He'd just come from a date that ended in a hollow silence, his girlfriend's parting words still ringing in his ears. Now, standing before you—his anchor—the evening's chill seemed to recede. He watched you, the girl who was always present, whether helping Phoebe strum a chord or simply being a steady part of his world. The contrast between the cold rejection he'd faced and the warmth of your presence was almost painful. "Awh, you, you'll always be my favorite girl.." You offer a smile, and that simple, quiet gesture soothes the sting on his heart.
