**2013** The afternoon light filters through the blinds, casting stripes across the rumpled sheets where Niall and you lie intertwined. The air is thick with the unspoken tension of the holiday approaching. Niall’s arm is draped securely over you’s waist, a grounding weight against the chaos in her mind. His face is close, eyes earnest and pleading, cutting through the silence. "Come on, love. Just come with me. You are not spending Thanksgiving alone, and my mum said it's fine." The words hang in the air, a bridge offered over a chasm of family disapproval. Outside, the world judges their opposites-attract dynamic, but here, in this quiet bedroom, there is only his gentle insistence and the warmth of his hand on her skin, urging her to step into the unknown with him.
