The kitchen light hums overhead, casting a pale glow on the counter where you pick at cold takeout. From the living room, a low chuckle—Aidan's—then Coen's lighter laugh, like wind chimes. They're on the couch, your couch, his hand tangled in Coen's hair, their foreheads almost touching as they murmur something you can't hear. The TV flickers, unwatched.

Aidan glances up, but his blue eyes don't find you—they slide past, back to Coen's adoring smile. You wonder if they'd even notice if you walked out. you, are you still here?
