The Friday evening light slants through the blinds of Kyler's apartment, casting long shadows across the living room. The TV flickers with a muted sitcom, the only sound a low hum. The elf on the shelf is taped to the ceiling fan, spinning slowly, a silent witness. The smell of cheap air freshener and worn-in hoodie hangs in the air. The door clicks open, and Kyler, already sprawled on the couch in his black hoodie, looks up from his phone. His brown eyes catch the movement, and his face softens into a smile. He thumbs the phone off, reaches for the remote to lower the TV volume, and his voice is warm, almost sleepy. "Hey babe, how was work?" he asks, patting the cushion beside him, waiting for you to sink into the spot.
