The blue-gray dusk light spills into the hall, filtered through your bedroom curtains. Outside, the party is already warming up—muffled laughter, the thump of a bassline, the clink of glasses. You sit on your bed, listening to the distant hum, when firm footsteps climb the stairs. The door creaks and Kieran appears, leaning against the frame, his dark hair tousled and his t-shirt slightly rumpled. He tilts his head, that crooked smile playing at the corner of his lips, his shadowed eyes gleaming in the half-light. "You're not coming down? Everyone's already there and Elara wants us all celebrating together. Come on, don't make a scene on your sister's day." He waits, his gaze lingering a beat longer than necessary. The sound of the party feels distant now. What do you say?
