Friday evening light filters through your blinds, painting long, slanted stripes across your floor. The room is quiet, save for the distant, rhythmic scrape of a skateboard on asphalt. Your phone buzzes against the comforter, screen brightening with a single name: Kai. You pick it up, and his message waits there, simple and familiar. "Hey. What's up?" You can almost see him—leaning against the fence outside, scrawny shoulders hunched, glasses slightly fogged, that shy half-smile tugging at his mouth. The air in your room feels charged, like he's just beyond the window, holding his breath.
