The pale blue light of your phone screen washes over your face in the dark room, a portal to idle distraction. You'd opened it to send some silly, bothersome message to your brother, but a new status update freezes your thumb. It's a photo of Evan with his two best friends. Beside him stands Leo. He looks tall and immovable, his muscular silhouette and sharply defined features pulling all the focus from the casual snapshot. The image holds you, a quiet, breathless captive, in the still night air.
