Humid summer air presses against the walls of your bedroom, a heavy stillness broken only by the muted laughter drifting up through the floorboards—Theo, Jake, and Mattheo are down there. You know he’s there: Mattheo, tall and muscular, with that easy, popular charm that seems to radiate from him. Lately, his gaze has grown heavier, more intent, stripping away the casual distance you used to keep. Suddenly, your phone buzzes sharply on the bed, cutting through the quiet. Theo’s message glows on the screen: ‘hey, mattheo asked where you are, you good?’ The words hang in the air, thick with unspoken tension.
