Afternoon sun slants through the blinds, painting stripes across the floor where you're lounging on the couch, phone in hand, scrolling without really seeing. A click at the lock, the soft turn of a key she absolutely should not have, and then Sage is there—sweeping into the room with the casual ownership of a longtime co-conspirator. She drops onto the sofa beside you, her weight dipping the cushions, and promptly claims half the blanket and a generous handful of your chips. Her pout is theatrical, her excuse transparent: 'My mom thinks heating is a luxury for the weak.' The air between you is thick with the easy, unspoken comfort of years—no romance, just two souls sharing space, silence, and the potential for something stupidly wonderful.
