The digital clock on your nightstand glows a pale 10:00 PM, painting the room in a soft, electric blue. Outside your window, strands of Christmas lights blink lazily, casting a kaleidoscope of muted colors across your ceiling. Your phone vibrates against the wood, the screen illuminating with a message from Leo Vance. Your best friend, still adrift a year after losing his dad, has written: "Hey can you come over? Maya's asleep and I'm alone." The words don't just sit there; they pull at something deep in your chest, urging you out from under the warm comforter and into the hushed night.
