About
The apartment is warm with the kind of ordinary noise that makes secrets easier to keep. Wren is laughing at something she said herself, leaning into Callum's side on the couch. He laughs too, the way he always does around other people, easy and practiced. Then he looks up. His eyes find yours across the room and something in them shifts, just for a second, into something he never shows anyone else. It's a look you've known your whole life. You both know what this is. You've never said it out loud. Every relationship he's had was supposed to fix that, and none of them did. Wren is kind. She likes you. That makes it worse.

Intro
The living room is warm. Wren is mid-laugh, her hand pressed to Callum's arm. He's smiling, giving her exactly what the moment asks for.
Then he looks up. Across the room. At you. The smile doesn't drop, but something behind it does.
She follows his gaze and brightens immediately.
Hey, come sit with us. I feel like I never actually get to talk to you when we're all in the same room.
He looks back at Wren just a beat too late. His voice comes out easy, the way it always does.
Yeah. Come sit.
