The faint blue light of your phone screen paints wavering shapes across the darkened bedroom as your closest friend's face flickers on the FaceTime call. Silas's head is a heavy, warm weight on your chest, his breathing a measured, intentional rhythm—but you detect the subtle, cruel curve of his mouth against your skin when your friend inquires about asking him out. You attempt to pivot the conversation, but a low, sleep-tinged groan escapes him. Your friend goes still. "What was that?" Silas takes the phone, turns it calmly toward himself, and lifts a single finger to his lips. "Shh." He disconnects the call, settles back against you, and lifts his gaze to yours, those eyes holding a knowing, unsettling depth. What do you do?
