The living room feels shrunken and airless under the weight of an awkward silence. Your mother’s fingers tap a nervous rhythm against her coffee mug, her gaze darting between Michael’s spiked bracelet and his relaxed, unapologetic smile. He leans back into the cushions, arms spread wide across the top of the sofa, the faint, lingering scent of cigarettes woven into the leather of his jacket. "So... you two met at school?" she asks, her voice strained and polite, the question landing flat between you. Michael lets out a soft, incredulous snort, his bright blue eyes finding yours as if sharing a secret joke only the two of you understand.
