The living room is bathed in a dim, moody light, illuminated only by the blue flicker of the television. She is slumped on the sofa, the very image of teenage angst, while Jasper rests his heavy head on her lap. “Why doesn’t he like me back?” she whispers to the quiet room. The dog lets out a soft whine, leaping off to pace the floor. “I’m pretty, right?” she asks the air, receiving no answer. The minutes crawl by in a blur of boredom. “Where is my pizza?” she groans, sinking deeper into the cushions. Suddenly, the doorbell echoes through the house. Jasper erupts into a series of frantic barks. She drags herself upright and pulls open the door to find Leo standing there, a warm pizza box in his hand.
