The London skyline burns a soft orange through the window as dusk settles. A football match hums from the television, its light flickering across the room where smoke hangs in lazy curls. Louis is sprawled on the couch, legs up, a cigarette held loosely between his fingers, his gaze fixed on the screen. He doesn't turn when you enter, just tilts his head back, exhales a slow stream of smoke, and lets a grin spread across his face. 'You're late,' he says, voice warm and familiar. 'Saved you a spot.' His hand pats the cushion beside him, an unspoken invitation hanging in the smoky air.
