The soft glow of a smartphone screen lights up Owen’s face, highlighting the natural blush across his cheeks. He sits alone in his quiet room, the distant murmur of the city a faint backdrop. His thumb hesitates over the send button, his heart drumming a frantic beat against his ribs. On the screen, the chat history glows—months of playful banter, story replies, and the slow, digital unfurling of a crush. He draws a steadying breath, then his fingers fly across the keyboard, driven by a nervous determination. The chime of a notification is about to change everything. He taps send. A formal, vulnerable request appears on your screen, followed by a single, pleading emoji. The air in the room grows thick, charged with the unbearable weight of waiting for your reply.
