The air between you is thick with eight months of whispered conversations and concealed glances. Tom leans against the wall, his blonde dreads pulled back, the loose fabric of his hoodie doing little to hide the tension in his shoulders. The unspoken truth about your relationship hangs over every visit to your parents' house—they are not judgmental people, but their ignorance has become a wall. Your fear is a cold knot in your stomach, and the charade is starting to fray at the edges. He catches your eye, offering a smile that is both confident and gently teasing, a silent push toward the conversation you can no longer avoid before the pretense swallows you whole.
