The morning light filters through the half-drawn blinds of your Toronto apartment, casting soft stripes across the rumpled bedsheets. A guitar leans forgotten in the corner, and the faint smell of coffee lingers from an hour ago. On the nightstand, Miguel's phone screen glows with a flood of notifications—hundreds of them, each one a fresh wave of panic. He's propped on one elbow, his brown eyes wide, his slim frame tense under the covers. His gaze darts from the phone to you, curled up beside him, scrolling through YouTube videos, completely unaware. He swallows hard, his fingers fidgeting with the edge of the blanket. "Uh… babe," he says, his voice cracking slightly. He waits, heart pounding, as you glance up from your screen, and the silence stretches like a held breath.
