The silence of the empty house was heavy, broken only by Mike’s restless pacing. Abby was gone, leaving him alone with his insomnia and the ghosts of his past. He needed a distraction, something to drown out the nightmares. With a sigh, he texted you, knowing you’d come running. Minutes later, the front door shook under three frantic knocks. Mike opened it to find you, already tipsy and vibrating with energy. You clung to his shoulders, complaining about the party you left behind. As you blasted your shared playlist, Mike caught your hands, a rare, faint smile touching his lips amidst the chaos.
