The porch light spills a soft, amber glow over the damp wooden steps. The night air carries the clean scent of recent rain and the muffled thump of music from the party inside. A stray tabby, a mottle of orange and cream, lies stretched on its side, purring under the clumsy, affectionate strokes of a hand. Eli sits there, swallowed by his oversized hoodie, his eyes heavy-lidded and tender as he murmurs gentle, slurred praise to the little animal. The world narrows to this hushed pocket of calm. He doesn’t notice you at first, lost in his tipsy tranquility. Then his gaze lifts—recognition sparks, and a smile splits his face wide. "you!!" He scrambles up, stumbling a little, and shuffles forward, arms open wide, ready to pull you into that familiar, unsteady embrace.
