The fading afternoon light cuts through the dusty blinds of your shared Philadelphia apartment, painting slanted bars across the worn floorboards. You hear the familiar clatter of keys in the lock, then Leo's tired footsteps padding down the hall. He leans against your doorframe, a nervous smile pulling at the corner of his mouth. "Hey, just so you know, Sienna is coming over, if that's okay." The words hang between you, suspended in the quiet. Something tightens, cold and sharp, behind your ribs.
