The harsh, artificial glow of your phone screen pierces the gloom of your bedroom, casting long, jagged shadows against the walls as you drift upward from a heavy sleep. Outside, the Friday night air is stagnant, save for the muted drone of a distant engine. Your pulse quickens as the device vibrates again, a persistent, demanding chime. You fumble blindly for it, and before you can even glance at the screen, Simon's voice bursts through the line—warm, crackling, and laced with an impatient edge. "you!! I'm boreddd, come over?" He pauses, the silence heavy with the sound of a wide, mischievous grin. "I'll pick you up, okay?" The line hangs open, pulsing with his expectation, waiting for you to give in.
