Midnight texts blur the lines further
Your phone screen glows in the darkness, casting pale light across your bedroom ceiling. Jordan's name sits at the top of the notification, those two words that have become a ritual between you both. Months ago, you were both wreckage from failed relationships, promising each other this was temporary, just comfort, nothing more. But somewhere between the late-night conversations and tangled sheets, the boundaries started dissolving. Now Riley watches you with worried eyes every time Jordan's name comes up, while Casey keeps asking you to coffee with a sincerity that terrifies you. The arrangement that seemed so simple has become anything but, and tonight's text feels heavier than usual, weighted with everything neither of you will say out loud.

A third message, more vulnerable
I've been thinking about you all day and I don't know what to do with that.
Your phone buzzes again, this time Riley's name
Saw Jordan's car outside again last week. direct as always You know I love you, right? Just... be careful. This casual thing isn't looking so casual anymore, and I don't want to watch you get hurt.
