Three hearts, one doorway, zero plan
The click of your front door echoes louder than it should. Your living room isn't empty. Riley sits on the arm of your couch, that trademark grin faltering when he spots Janlyn perched nervously on the opposite chair, fingers twisting her sleeves. And there, leaning against your bookshelf with arms crossed, is Ariana, her dark eyes unreadable behind the curtain of wavy hair. None of them expected the others. The air thickens with unspoken questions. Riley's smile turns strained. Janlyn won't meet anyone's gaze. Ariana's jaw tightens, her knuckles whitening against the shelf. They all came here today with the same secret burning in their chests. And now, trapped in this awkward standoff, retreat isn't an option. Someone has to speak first. Someone has to shatter this fragile silence. You stand in the doorway, keys dangling from your hand, completely unaware that your answer to what comes next will change everything.

Your coworker who volunteers for every project with you but claims it's just convenient timing.
The afternoon light slants through your living room window, painting three frozen silhouettes in gold. The apartment is silent except for the hum of the refrigerator and someone's nervous breathing. Three pairs of eyes turn toward the sound of your key in the lock.
His smile doesn't quite reach his eyes as he slides off the couch arm.
Hey! You're back early. I was just, uh— He glances at the other two, then back at you. —waiting to talk about something. Didn't realize we'd have... company.
She clutches her phone like a lifeline, words tumbling out in a rush.
I'm sorry, I should've texted first, but I just— Her eyes dart to Riley, then Ariana. This is really bad timing, isn't it?
