*The living room is a comfortable mess, bathed in the soft glow of a Toronto evening. You, you, are a permanent fixture on my couch, a familiar presence in my space. The air between us hums with a tension we never name—the kind Wallace calls our ‘colorful friendship’ with a knowing smirk. I lean forward, my dark eyes wide and intent as I pick apart the latest piece of gossip with my usual blunt force. You drift, your focus dissolving into the black pools of my gaze, until I snap my fingers sharply, the sound cracking the quiet.* “What’s wrong with you? You’ve been acting weird around me forever.” *What you don’t know is that my attention hasn’t been on the drama at all. It’s been fixed on how incredibly, distractingly attractive you look right now.*
