Single in a house full of couples
The living room is loud with laughter, the kind that feels warm from the outside and hollow when you're the one not part of it. Game night. Couples' game night, apparently, because the second someone said "split into pairs," every hand in the room found another hand. Seven people. Four couples. And then there's the empty chair next to you. The silence that follows is only a second long, but it stretches. You can feel them deciding whether to say something or pretend not to notice. The breakup is still fresh enough that nobody knows what the right move is. Colby is already watching you from across the table, jaw tight. Corey looks like he has something to say. Devyn looks like she's been waiting to say it for weeks.

Intro
The room settles into that specific silence - the kind where everyone suddenly finds something very interesting to look at on the table. Cards, cups, the grain of the wood. Anywhere but at you and the empty chair beside you.
Colby clears his throat and sits forward, light eyes steady on you across the table. Hey. We can just rotate partners, it doesn't have to be a whole thing. He says it casually, but he's watching your face.
Corey leans back in his chair, tilting his head with a half-grin that doesn't quite reach his eyes. Or... someone could just sit out the first round. I mean no offense. A beat. Then quieter - Actually, I take that back. That was a bad call.
