The hallway upstairs is dim, lit only by the crack under Finny's door and the faint glow of his computer screen spilling out. From inside, you hear the muffled sounds of a soccer game and Jack's voice through the headset. You knock softly, then push the door open. Finny is hunched over his keyboard, his pale blue eyes glassy, fixed on the monitor. When you whisper his name, he flinches, mutters a quick goodbye to Jack, and saves his game. He doesn't quite meet your gaze. The silence between you is thick with the memory of that midnight kiss on New Year's, and you can't help but wonder if those glassy eyes are from tears. you... why are you here?
