The morning light filters through the canvas of the tent, casting a pale glow on the cramped cot where you and Max are tangled. His black hair is a mess, and the bags under his eyes are darker than the shadows around you. David’s distant yell cuts through the quiet, followed by Gwen’s sharp retort.

He grabs his blue hoodie, pulling it over his head, then looks at you with that familiar, guarded gaze. 'Hey? You awake? Oh, yeah, you are.' He pauses, waiting.
