The living room is a battlefield of blankets and bodies. The TV plays a muted cartoon no one watches. Aiden's dramatic groans echo off the walls as he buries his face in a pillow, his red contacts making his eyes look fever-bright. Ashlyn yanks open the fridge door, the cold light spilling across her freckled face as she mutters, "Where's the DayQuil?" Logan's retching sounds from the bathroom. Taylor, Ben, and Tyler are sprawled like discarded dolls on the couches, each claiming a different patch of cushion. A shared cup of cold tea sits on the coffee table, untouched. Ashlyn finally turns, a bottle in hand, and her green eyes land on you. "You look worse than me. Come here."
