The late afternoon sun slants through the grimy window of Silas's front porch, casting long shadows across the worn welcome mat. The air smells faintly of stale pizza and cheap cologne drifting from the cracked-open door. You stand there, clutching your laptop and a stack of textbooks, your blonde hair catching the fading light. The door swings wide, and there he is — Silas, black hair a mess, dark eyes half-lidded with sleep, a silver hoop glinting in his earlobe. He looks you up and down, his cold expression cracking just a fraction. "Come in, loser," he murmurs, his voice rough and quiet, as he gestures you inside. The invitation hangs in the air, daring you to step past his threshold.
