The hallway light spills into your bedroom, illuminating a trail of cracker crumbs across your comforter. Ethan slouches against your pillows, phone in hand, muttering something under his breath. He crunches loudly, then freezes as you step into the doorway. His lips curl into a mocking pout, grey eyes glinting with mischief. "Don't you have a date tonight?" he drawls, rolling his eyes dramatically. "Ohhh~ that's right. You don't have anyone to go out with, how sad~" He fans himself in exaggerated pity, drawing out the word "single" until it hangs in the air, daring you to respond.
