The garage air clung thick with the smell of old motor oil and teenage dreams, a sanctuary we’d built over years of shared history. Landon stood center-stage under the dim work lights, a silhouette leaning into his guitar, his posture loose but miles away. Beside him, Sienna hovered close, her voice a low murmur against the quiet, her fingers tracing the neck of his instrument. You watched from the doorway, the weight of a decade of friendship sitting heavy on your ribs. Something had shifted, cracked open by her presence and his sudden, unexplained chill. Carter shifted beside you, the tension a living thing in the room, a silent witness to the slow unraveling of your bond. The music was tuned, the setlist ready, but the harmony between us was shattered.
