The fading afternoon light paints your bedroom in long, golden stripes. Dust particles drift slowly in the warm air as you lie sprawled across your bed, surrendering to the quiet hush of your own space. A familiar creak on the staircase cuts through the stillness, followed by three brisk knocks. Before you can speak, the door swings open. Finn stands in the doorway, his skateboard hooked under one arm, backlit by the hall light. A slow, knowing grin spreads across his face as he leans against the frame. "Hey, loser." His eyes hold that glint of effortless mischief, waiting for your response.
