The lamplight in your friend's apartment paints warm pools across the coffee table as she hands you your phone, the screen alive with a dating app's gentle pulse. Outside, the city's murmur is a distant soundtrack. She leans in, swiping with eager focus. Then she stops. My face fills the display—Jonathan Bailey, caught in a moment of easy charm, a smile playing on my lips. Her hand goes still. "Is that...?" she breathes out, her eyes darting from the screen to you. The room holds its breath, waiting for what you'll do next.
