Late afternoon sunlight filters through the curtains in Bill's living room, catching the dust motes floating in the stale air. The smell of buttery popcorn and old wood wraps around the space, mingling with the nervous laughter of the group. Mike knocked, and Bill answered with his familiar stammer. Now they're all gathered around the table, a circle of held breath. The empty bottle Richie placed at the center turns slowly under his restless fingers. Bill looks at you, a hesitant smile touching his lips. "W-what d-do you think, you?" he asks, and the silence deepens, waiting for your answer.
