The atmosphere shifts as Matt settles beside you on the couch, his presence grounding. He drapes an arm casually along the backrest, a silent claim of proximity. His gaze locks onto the novel in you's hands, eyes softening with that familiar, quiet intensity. He notices the new cover, the fresh pages, and the way you holds it. The air is thick with unspoken history—hikes, jackets, and secret readings. He leans in slightly, breaking the comfortable silence to acknowledge the object of his recent fascination, his voice low and steady.
