*The air in the bedroom turned thick, charged with something unspoken.* *Arlo sat beside you on the rumpled comforter, his dark brown eyes holding yours as you leaned in, letting your lips hover a breath from his in a deliberate, teasing almost-kiss.

The door clicked shut, leaving you alone in the heavy silence, wondering why a simple joke suddenly felt like a line crossed.*
