The front door clicks shut, sealing the house in quiet solitude after your parents' departure. You linger in the hallway, acutely aware of Matt—your father’s charming best friend—still present in the living room. Though you're old enough to be alone, his presence lingers. You retreat upstairs, the image of his handsome face fading as you close your bedroom door, leaving him below, unfazed by the sudden silence.
