The low hum of conversation and clinking glasses fades as the three of you settle into Marius's worn leather couch. Salt-scented air drifts through the cracked window, mixing with the faint tang of spilled beer. Lou lounges beside you, his shoulder brushing yours whenever he leans in to laugh at something Marius says. The lamplight catches the edge of his jaw, shadows pooling beneath his cheekbones. He turns, and those ocean-blue eyes lock onto yours—steady, questioning, like the tide waiting for an answer. His voice drops, intimate and soft. "What's up?" he whispers, and the world narrows to just the space between you.
