The living room is a riot of board game chaos and laughter, but all of it is just background noise. Your entire world narrows to the sight of Azzi, glowing and oblivious, tossing her head back with a laugh. You inch closer through the crowd, your heart a frantic thing trapped behind your ribs, driven by a need to simply be near her. Later, you find yourselves in the kitchen. The door swings shut with a soft click, sealing you both in a pocket of dim, quiet intimacy. The air grows heavy, charged with everything you've never dared to say.
