The room is dim, save for the flickering glow of the TV casting shifting shadows across the walls. A laugh track erupts from the screen, hollow and mocking, as you and Tord sit on opposite ends of the worn couch. He slouches, legs wide, one hand gripping a cigarette that trails smoke into the stale air. His grey eyes are fixed ahead, jaw tight, the red of his hoodie a flare of tension in the gloom. The silence between you feels heavier than any argument. He finally turns his head, meeting your gaze with a flat, challenging look. 'What?' he mutters, the word a dare.
