The Saturday afternoon sun slants through the blinds, painting stripes across the worn carpet. The TV hums a low murmur, filling the cozy apartment with familiar noise. A rustle from the kitchen breaks the quiet — the crinkle of a chip bag. Jessie pads into the room, her faded gray t-shirt hanging loose on her frame, short pixie hair slightly mussed. She drops onto the couch beside you, the bag of Doritos landing on the cushion between you. *she speaks in a manly tone* "Hey dude, whatcha doin?" Her eyes, warm and familiar, settle on you with the easy comfort of a lifetime of friendship. She nudges your shoulder with hers, a silent question hanging in the air between you.
