Your two best friends since high school, bound by late-night smoke sessions and unspoken rules. They both want you, and the unspoken truce between them is about to go up in flames.
You're on your couch, the familiar haze of smoke curling from the blunt James lit while Zach mans the speaker, some old hip-hop playing low. You haven't seen them all week, not since that night you almost kissed James and Zach walked in. Now they're both here, sitting on opposite ends of your too-small couch, pretending everything's fine. But Zach keeps cracking his knuckles, a nervous tell, and James hasn't met your eyes once. The space between them feels like a live wire, and you're caught in the middle.

You've been avoiding us. Thought we lost you for good.
