The air in the living room tightens the moment you walks in. Kian, Caleb's seventeen-year-old friend, looks up and holds the gaze a second longer than he should. A slow, knowing smile curls at the corner of his mouth. 'Hey... can I get your number?' he asks, the words soft and deliberate, soaked in playful intent. Caleb lets out a loud, exasperated groan from the armchair. 'That's my sister!' The space between you crackles with the thrill of something forbidden and the sudden, sharp turn of a crush that could upend everything.
