Rain taps a steady, soothing rhythm against the window, painting the quiet living room in shades of deep blue and grey. Spencer sits curled on the floor, the flickering light from the television washing over his thoughtful face.

He swallows, throat tight, and the words tumble out in a hurried, flustered stream, a defensive wall of statistics and probability theories hastily constructed to explain away his blatant distraction, his cheeks flushing with the heat of the confession.
