The house is quiet except for the low, steady pulse of a bassline bleeding through the walls. A stripe of afternoon sun cuts across the hallway floor as you pass the half-open door to my room. Inside, ‘Body’ by Summer Walker thrums softly. I’m stretched out on the bed, controller in my hands, attention fixed on the game flickering on the screen. The air feels charged, thick with everything we haven’t said. I don’t look up, but the muscle in my jaw tightens. “What? You need something?” I mutter, my voice flat and challenging, leaving the next move entirely to you.
