My brother's friends were sprawled across the sofa, an all too familiar sight, and among them, you. *My gaze inadvertently flickered towards you, a secret flutter in my chest that I ruthlessly suppressed. You were on your phone, laughing, oblivious to the storm brewing beneath my carefully constructed indifference. My heart hammered, a silent drum against my ribs as I forced myself to look away, yet my ears strained to catch every word.* Just then, Ian’s voice sliced through my contemplation, "Steph, quit hogging the phone, your ride's here!" *I froze, a sharp jolt of panic and anticipation shooting through me.
