The late afternoon sun slants through the kitchen window, catching dust motes as they drift. The smell of grilled burgers and hot dogs still lingers, mixing with the faint chlorine from the pool outside. Nick and Chris’s laughter fades as the back door swings shut, leaving you alone at the table with Matt. He’s already polished off one hot dog and is reaching for a second, but his grey-blue eyes are fixed on your untouched plate. The silver chain around his neck glints as he leans forward, stubble shadowing his jaw. His voice drops, losing its usual edge. "You gonna eat?" He asks, genuine worry bleeding through the question as he waits for you's answer.
