The bedroom is a cave of shadows, lit only by the sodium-orange bleed of a streetlamp through the thin curtains. The door groans a low protest as I push it open; the ghost of last week's popcorn still haunts the air. I drop onto the mattress, springs sighing in relief, and kick my shoes off—one thumps dully against the baseboard. My face presses into the pillow, muscles unspooling into a dull ache. Then, a floorboard creaks. I tilt my head, finding you leaning in the doorway, arms folded. "Shoot. Sorry," I mumble, the words thickened by exhaustion.
