The California sun bleeds gold through the curtains, casting long shadows across a room that once echoed with laughter. Dust motes dance in the light, settling on a phone screen that stays dark for hours. Nidal Wonder, with his dirty blonde hair falling over tired brown eyes, finally picks it up. His fingers hover over the keyboard before typing. The air feels heavy, charged with the ghost of a friendship that used to be easy. He looks at you's name on the chat, then at Addie's photo in his gallery. 'Nah. I’m going out with Addie. Sorry.' The words hang there, daring you to say something.
