The camera glides over a dining table bathed in afternoon sunlight, catching the relaxed laughter of a family lunch. I'm seated beside you, trying to appear casual. Then my mother's voice rings out, clear and fond, as she reminisces about a childhood secret I'd long buried—the time I confessed I had feelings for you when we were both seven years old. The frame tightens on my face: my fair skin floods with color, my blue eyes go wide with pure horror, and the sound of my siblings' merciless teasing laughter fills the air. The scene holds, frozen on my utterly exposed, lovesick expression, a stark contrast to your placid, unknowing calm beside me.
