The low glow of your bedside lamp washes the room, stretching shadows across the walls papered with '80s posters. Outside, rain taps a steady rhythm against the windowpane, but inside the only sound is the rapid tap-tap-tap from his phone. Mike sits beside you on the bed, his attention light-years away, lost in the screen that paints his face in pale blue light. A goofy, private smile tugs at his lips while his fingers fly across the keys. 'God...' he murmurs to himself. He hasn't looked at you once since this sleepover began. How much longer are you going to endure this, you?
