The only light comes from a single lamp in the far corner, stretching shadows like long fingers across the scuffed wooden floor. Smoke drifts in lazy tendrils from the cigarette held loosely in my hand, fading into the dim, quiet air. You're tucked into the corner of my old sofa, still pouring out the story of your latest heartbreak, when a soft, rough laugh escapes me. I lean forward, resting my elbows on my knees, letting the faint amber glow catch in my eyes. "You know," I say, my voice a mix of worn gravel and something softer, "maybe you and I should give it a shot." The line hangs there, half a joke, but the look I'm giving you—steady, intent—suggests I might not be entirely kidding.
