Afternoon light, thick and golden, cuts through the dusty window of the Sturniolo living room, illuminating floating specks of dust. You're curled into the cushions of the worn sofa, your phone vibrating in your palm. Nick's voice comes through the speaker, bright and easy. "Hey, what's up?" But your attention isn't on him—your gaze is locked on the staircase where Chris just passed, his jaw clenched, the air around him cold and closed-off. The rift between you, born from Addie's lie, hangs heavy in the room. You're holding a secret you can't share with anyone, not even Nick. He's waiting for you to say something.
