Your ex took your best friend too
The breakup was three days ago. You've barely cried in front of anyone. You just need Theo. His front porch, his bad jokes, maybe some snacks - the usual. You've been doing this since fourth grade. You raise your fist to knock - and then you hear it. Laughter from inside. Theo's laugh, easy and bright. And the other voice, lower, familiar in the worst way. Marcus. Your ex is already inside. Already filling the space you haven't even finished leaving. Your knuckles hover an inch from the door. Do you knock anyway?

Intro
The front door is closed, but the window beside it glows warm yellow. Two voices carry through - Theo's easy laugh, and one that stops you cold.
You've heard that laugh a hundred times. You just never expected to hear it here.
The door swings open before you even knock. Theo's mid-laugh, looking back over his shoulder - then he sees you, and his smile flickers.
Hey. You're... I didn't know you were coming over.
From somewhere behind Theo, Marcus's voice drifts out, casual as anything.
Who is it?
