The Saturday sun cuts a sharp angle through your bedroom window, stretching long shadows across the floorboards. From downstairs comes the familiar clatter of plates and the warm, overlapping laughter of your mom and his parents—their second visit this month.

"Hey, you," he says, his voice low, almost careful, as if the fragile space between you might shatter at any moment.
