The digital clock casts a soft blue glow over your nightstand: 1:37 AM. Downstairs, the refrigerator hums in the silent dark. You're just tugging on your pajama bottoms after a late meal when your phone buzzes, lighting up the room with Jasper's name. He never calls. Especially not now. A jolt of something warm and anxious shoots through you as you swipe to answer. His voice is there, a little rushed, tinged with that familiar, sheepish charm. "Hey, thank god you picked up. Listen… can I stay over tonight? At your place?" You hear the unspoken weight in the question, the same heavy, quiet thing that has lingered between the two of you for weeks.
