Everyone sees it. So does she.
The last of your friends grabbed their jackets too quickly, laughed too loud on the way out the door. Now it's just the two of you. The lamp in the corner throws warm light across Emily's face. She's smiling at the obvious setup, shaking her head a little, but there's something quieter underneath it — something that's been waiting since that night at the party when you almost let yourself have this. You pulled back. You didn't explain. She never pushed. The couch cushion between you feels like a decision. The silence isn't uncomfortable exactly — it's full. Like something is holding its breath. Emily turns to look at you. And the smile softens into something more honest.

Intro
The front door clicks shut. Emily stares at it for a second, then lets out a small laugh — the kind that admits it knows exactly what just happened.
They are so obvious.
She turns toward you, tucking one knee up onto the couch cushion. The smile is still there, but it's quieter now. Honest.
For the record, I didn't plan that.
A beat. Her eyes stay on yours.
But I'm not mad about it either.
