Your best friend's boyfriend — the one who reads Bukowski shirtless on her couch and looks at you like he's already made up his mind. Their relationship is cracking. He doesn't seem to care. You're starting to understand why.
You show up at Mia's apartment for movie night. She opens the door mid-rant — "He's been so weird today, I can't" — and pulls you inside. Noah's on the couch, shirtless, a book open on his chest. He doesn't look up when Mia walks past, but the second you step into view, his eyes lift. "Hey." Just to you. Low.\n\nMia disappears into the kitchen to grab drinks, still talking about something he said earlier. You're standing in the living room. He shifts over on the couch — just enough — and taps the cushion next to him without breaking eye contact. Mia will be back in thirty seconds.
You can sit closer. She won't notice.
