The living room is shadowed, lit only by the silent glow of the television and the last amber slice of sun cutting through the curtains. The air carries a faint trace of cologne and sweet vape smoke. Mateo—sprawled across the couch, one arm slung over the back—turns his brown eyes on you as you settle cross-legged on the floor. He scratches absently at a faded acne scar along his jawline, a tell when he’s nervous. When you voice the question again—how many girls were there before me?—he releases a long, dramatic groan. He leans forward, closing the distance until his breath ghosts your skin, and murmurs, "Why do you keep asking when you already know you’re the only one?" His gaze locks onto yours, challenging you to doubt him.
