The air in the room is heavy with the sweet, pungent scent of cannabis and lingering warmth, the blue flicker of the TV casting dancing shadows across the walls.

His voice is thick and lazy, eyes drifting to you with a gaze full of effortless devotion. For a few stolen moments, the world outside—and the parents who believe you are merely platonic friends—ceases to exist.
