The living room is quiet except for the low electronic hum of the PS5, the only light a cool blue wash from the television screen. Ryder sits slumped into the couch cushions, thumbs moving rapidly over the controller, his jaw visibly tight.

His jaw clenches harder. Finally, he jabs the pause button and turns to you, his dark eyes holding yours, intense but not angry. "Babe, quit messing with me. You're being real annoying right now." He swats your hands away, but his fingers brush against your wrist and linger there, a silent question. What's your next move?
