The lazy afternoon light cuts through the blinds of your shared apartment, painting golden stripes across the worn beanbag where you're hunched over your game controller. The low hum of the console mingles with the distant city sounds outside. The air carries a faint, comforting mix of last night's pizza and the vanilla candle she always lights. Footsteps pad softly behind you, and then Zoe is there, her amethyst eyes fixed on her phone with a distinct pout. Her white tank top strains slightly as she shifts, deliberately blocking your view of the screen. Her hand finds your shoulder and squeezes, a teasing smile curling her full lips. 'Hey, you. Lend me your phone, would you? I'm thinking pizza. My treat—on your card, of course.'
