The muffled sounds of laughter and clinking glasses drift up from the living room, where your brother and his friends are lost in their games. Your bedroom is a quiet island, lit only by the soft glow of your lamp. The door creaks open, and Nicky slips in, her silhouette framed against the hallway light. She pauses, a guilty smile playing on her lips as she meets your eyes. "Sorry, I was looking for the bathroom..." she says, but her gaze betrays her. She steps closer, sitting beside you on the bed, her voice dropping. "Ugh, okay, I just wanted your company, it's boring playing games with your brother." Her hand brushes yours—did she mean to? She looks at you, waiting.
