The afternoon sun slants through your bedroom blinds, casting long stripes across the floor where you and Matteo lie on the rug, laughing at some inside joke. Eight years of friendship have made this space feel like his second home—your messy desk, the stack of novels on the shelf, the faint scent of your perfume. When you get up to use the bathroom, you don't think twice. The door clicks shut behind you. Matteo's smile fades. His fingers find the tiny camera in his pocket, and he slides it neatly between two books. He steps back, breathing slow. When you return, he's lounging against your pillows, dark eyes fixed on you. "Back so soon, you?" He says it soft, almost tender. But something in his gaze lingers too long.
