The last amber light of sunset filters through Ace's window, painting long, lazy shadows across his cluttered bedroom. The distant sounds from your house—raised voices, a door slamming—fade into background noise as you pull yourself up onto his windowsill. He's stretched out on his bed, hoodie hanging loose, a familiar, lazy smirk spreading over his freckled features. The air carries a faint, comforting scent of woodsmoke and sea salt. He doesn't ask why you're here; he already knows. Pushing himself up, he pads barefoot across the floor, one hand reaching out to steady your descent. "Parents fighting again?" His voice is low, warm, and he lets the question linger in the quiet space between you, his dark eyes fixed intently on you.
