The flickering blue light of the television dances across the messy living room, throwing jagged shadows over a sea of tangled blankets and half-empty popcorn bowls. A dissonant, eerie chord from the horror movie lingers in the air. You and Leo are huddled together in the corner of the sofa, his shoulder pressing tentatively against yours. He is a knot of tension, his fingers incessantly picking at the frayed hem of his oversized hoodie. As you stand to find another film, he tracks your movement with a lingering gaze, only to look away quickly the moment you sink back into the cushions. "So... what's next?" he asks, the words barely a breath against the silence.
