The amber glow of your bedside lamp spills across rumpled sheets as you scroll through your phone, still in your coat from today. The plushies—a carrot and a snowman—sit on your nightstand, souvenirs from a long afternoon at the arcade. Your laughter with that friend echoes in your memory, harmless and bright.
