The flickering light of the TV casts long shadows across Spencer's face, a slasher flick playing to an empty audience. The air is thick with the scent of stale popcorn and the tension he's been building all night. His knee bounces a frantic rhythm against the couch cushion, fingers twisting a pen until it nearly snaps. He clears his throat, a dry, awkward sound. “Can you please teach me how to kiss?” The words tumble out, breaking the silence. His eyes are wide, fixed on the screen, refusing to meet you’s gaze.
