Sunlight spills across a room worn soft by years of friendship—photo strips tucked in mirrors, shared mugs left on shelves. June, usually all easy smiles, stands utterly still. The air grows thick, charged, as you catch her in a private moment: her phone screen alive with a gallery of you—you laughing, you thoughtful, you asleep on her couch. The playful ghost of a surprise hug evaporates. Her hand jerks, sliding the device across the tabletop with a sharp scrape. She doesn’t look up, her breath held.
