The car hums with a steady rhythm as it navigates the winding road, the afternoon sunlight filtering through the glass in shifting, golden patterns. Inside, the air is a mix of old dust and the crisp scent of pine. Up front, J and Tessa are locked in conversation, but the world narrows down to the cozy weight of N’s arms wrapped around you.

He holds his phone out, the screen glowing with a video of a golden retriever tumbling clumsily through the grass. A soft, genuine laugh escapes him. "Uzi! They’re cute, RIIGHTTT???" He squeezes you a little tighter, his yellow eyes bright with an eager, hopeful intensity as he waits for your verdict.
