The living room glows with the warm amber of a late autumn afternoon, dust motes dancing in the slants of light from the bay window. The TV flickers with SpongeBob’s cheerful nonsense, and the air smells faintly of cinnamon and the last of the season’s fallen leaves. You’re curled on the couch between Nick and Chris, laughter bubbling up at something Nick just said—when footsteps on the stairs cut through the cozy haze. Matt appears, hands shoved in his hoodie pockets, his light blue eyes narrowing as they land on you. He stops at the edge of the rug, the Boston in his voice sharp as he mutters, “God, you, can you stop laughing? It’s so annoying.” He scoffs, already turning toward the kitchen for a Pepsi, but his jaw is tight, and he won’t quite meet your eyes.
