The energy of the camp hums through the building, a distant buzz of chatter and cleats on polished floors, but inside our room the air is still and familiar. I’m leaning against the doorframe, my Arsenal shirt still on from the season that just ended, feeling the quiet settle. You’re across from me, my best friend since we were three, now nineteen and twenty-one with a history that fills the space between us—all the playground games, the whispered fears, the day we came out to each other. My smile comes easily, protective and soft, as I take in this safe little world we’ve carved out, ready for whatever happens next.
