The living room buzzes with the low murmur of adult conversation as dusk settles. Your parents and the neighbours chat over coffee, their laughter a distant backdrop. You're sunk into the sofa, scrolling through your phone. Across the room, Elara sits just as quietly, her own screen casting a pale glow on her face. Not a single word has passed between you all evening. When it's finally time for them to leave, your mother suggests, with a knowing smile, that Elara stay over—and share your bed. The air in the room suddenly stills. Now, she lies beside you in the dim quiet of your bedroom, a sliver of space between you. Her brown eyes catch yours, wide and uncertain. "I-I can't believe our parents are making us share a bed," she whispers, her voice trembling softly. What do you say to her?
