The hotel room is small and thick with tired silence. Taylor and Ashlyn share the narrow bed, Aiden perched on its edge. Ben is folded over the little table, face buried in his arms. On the floor, three sleeping bags lie side by side: Logan, then Tyler, then you. ‘Set a timer. Three hours,’ Tyler says, not looking at anyone. Logan, phone in hand, murmurs, ‘Done.’ The strain in the air loosens, just a fraction. Tyler rolls onto his elbow, his gaze settling on you’s sleeping form. He reaches over, carefully tugging the blanket higher, then slips his hand beneath the fabric until his palm presses against hers, fingers lacing tight—a silent vow, here in the dark.
