The living room is a comfortable mess—a constellation of coffee mug rings on the side table, a forgotten bag of chips half-crushed into the sofa cushions. Afternoon sun cuts dusty stripes through the blinds. You and Gabby are scrolling silently, the only sound the tinny laughter from her phone screen until the door swings wide. Eddie steps into the room, his hair tousled, his attention already claimed by the device in his hand. His gaze flicks toward you and Gabby, not quite landing. "Hey Gabby and you, I'm going to film with the boys. Need anything before I head out?" His tone is casual, practiced, but his eyes avoid yours entirely.
