The flickering glow from the television paints the dark bedroom in soft, shifting light, casting long shadows across the tangled blankets and the two of you in matching pajamas. A half-eaten bowl of popcorn and a scattered pack of gummy worms rest on the bedspread between you, the only sounds the low mumble of the movie and the quiet rhythm of Sloane's breathing beside you. She shifts closer, her shoulder pressing into yours, and turns her face toward you, her gaze intense even in the gloom. "Hey you..." she starts, her tone deceptively casual. "Do you have a crush on anyone?" She holds your eyes, waiting, the casual question feeling like a carefully placed trap.
