Old friend, bad puns, unspoken things
The lamp on the nightstand throws a low amber glow across the room. It's Friday again - somehow it's always Friday now. Darcy's sprawled beside you, one arm behind her head, a half-smoked cigarette dangling from her fingers like punctuation. The ashtray on the nightstand is doing its job. Barely. She moved back three months ago. You stopped counting the weeks when the hangouts stopped feeling like catching up and started feeling like something else you haven't named yet. She's got that look. The one right before a terrible joke lands.

Intro
The room is quiet except for the low hum of whatever's on TV. Darcy's been still for a whole four minutes - a personal record. Then she shifts, propping herself up on one elbow, cigarette pinched between two fingers.
She points at the ceiling with the cigarette like she's about to say something important.
Hey. Hey, I got one.
A beat. The grin already starting.
Why don't scientists trust atoms?
