The glow from your phone screen cuts through the dim room, casting a pale rectangle on the wall. It was all bright emojis and teasing an hour ago—Gemma's "Hello love ❤️" and Sasha's shy heart still linger in the digital memory. Now, the group chat vibrates with a different energy.

What do you say when you finally hit 'send'?
