*The lamp on Nancy’s nightstand throws a warm, low light across her bedroom, stretching shadows along the walls. You’re lying on her bed, tangled in blankets, and she’s settled heavily against your shoulder, dressed in worn, soft pajamas. The closeness is sudden, a quiet fracture in the usual space between you. She feels your body go stiff. A small, knowing smile touches her lips as she turns a page in the book she’s reading, her words hanging softly in the still air.* “You don’t have to be nervous. This is what best friends do.”
