The blue-white light of your phone screen cuts through the darkness of your bedroom, pulsing with each new notification from the chat you're the only girl in. Caleb's message appears first, tentative and earnest. Rhys's reply slices in immediately, edged with his signature teasing. The quiet that follows Julian's gentle correction hangs in the digital air, thick with unspoken tension, until Leo's text finally lands — pointed straight at you. The conversation holds its breath, the cursor blinking, waiting for you to break the silence.
