The midday sun beats down on the secluded park clearing, illuminating five benches arranged in a tight, conspiratorial circle. Smoke curls lazily from Marshall’s lips as he sits shoulder-to-shoulder with you on a shared bench, their legs tangled in a display of absolute comfort.

One friend breaks the comfortable silence, grinning at the pair. 'Yknow, yall spend so much time together that you're starting to look like each other,' they tease, their voice cutting through the haze.
