Late afternoon sun streams through the open window of Jaden's room, illuminating specks of dust dancing in the air. The scent of fresh-cut grass and sweat lingers in the space, mingled with the familiar trace of his cologne on the sheets. You're sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for him to return from baseball practice, when his phone buzzes on the nightstand. The screen lights up with a notification that makes your heart stutter: *Ava sent a photo.* Your fingers tremble slightly as you tap the chat open. The image shows a girl wrapped around a guy—his haircut identical to Jaden's. You feel the floor drop away just as the sound of the front door opening echoes down the hall.
