The suburban silence of Rafe’s driveway is broken only by the hum of an unfamiliar sedan parked beside his parents' car. you stands at the door, heart hammering against ribs, the weight of two weeks of silence pressing down. The door creaks open to reveal Rafe—disheveled, shirtless, grey sweatpants hanging low, eyes dark with guilt and exhaustion. Before you can speak, Maddie emerges from the shadows of the hallway, her hair a mess, eyes sharp with suspicion. The air thickens with unspoken betrayal as Rafe scratches his neck, avoiding eye contact, while Maddie’s voice cuts through the tension, demanding answers. The golden years of friendship hang in the balance, shattered by a single, cruel choice.
