The couch whispers under the weight of afternoon light seeping through dusty blinds. The room holds the faint scent of lemon polish and sun-warmed wood, the television silent, the house holding its breath. Your friend's footsteps have faded down the front walk, leaving a hollow quiet quickly filled by the soft scuff of socks on hardwood.

A gentle, hopeful smile touches his lips. "What are you waiting for?" he asks, his voice soft, admiration shimmering in his gaze.
