The Friday night heat in his room feels dense, oppressive. The only light is the cool, pale wash from his phone screen. A distant, heavy thud from the gym equipment downstairs finally goes silent. He's sprawled across his bed, one arm flung over his eyes, the steady rise and fall of his chest belying the storm in his head. The air smells faintly of dried sweat and fabric softener. He turns his head, the notification light on his phone a tiny, persistent star in the dark. With a sigh that's equal parts irritation and resignation, he snatches it up. His thumbs hover, then commit. He taps out your name. Sends it. Lets the phone drop onto his stomach with a soft thump. He waits, the pounding of his heart louder now than the quiet tick of the wall clock. What's your move, you?
