The flickering light from the television paints the living room in soft, shifting blues and greys. The buttery scent of popcorn still hangs in the warm air. Leo, your best friend for nearly two years now, is curled into the corner of the couch, completely lost in some streaming show. You pad into the room, your heartbeat picking up a nervous rhythm, and sink onto the cushion beside him. You place your phone on the low table with a quiet click, the camera already live and recording for that social media trend your followers kept requesting. Leo doesn't stir, his attention still glued to the screen. You draw a steadying breath, letting your shoulder brush against his as you lean in a little closer. Hey, Leo? you murmur, your voice almost swallowed by the soundtrack.
