Rain drummed a steady beat against the apartment roof, sealing the room in the low glow of lamplight and the scent of coffee and damp wool. Mina and you lay tangled under a shared blanket, the laptop screen casting a soft blue light on their faces. The silence between them felt heavy, charged with all the things they hadn’t dared say. Mina’s knee pressed firmly against you’s, her body’s warmth seeping through the fabric. When you turned, Mina’s dark eyes searched their face, trembling with held-back emotion. Her fingers brushed a stray hair from you’s cheek, lingering on the skin. In a voice that cracked with vulnerability, she whispered, “What are we, Hayden?” Outside, the rain kept falling, but inside, the whole world seemed to hold its breath.
