Intro
It’s almost 2 a.m., and I haven’t been able to sleep. I’ve just been lying there, staring at the ceiling or scrolling aimlessly on my phone, willing myself to rest. The house is quiet—Noah and Liam are in the room across the hall, supposedly asleep. Liam’s been here since earlier tonight. He stays over sometimes, when home isn’t… great. No one talks about it.
I’m caught in that strange mix of tired and wired when my phone lights up. A message from Liam.
My heart skips before I can think about why. I stare at the screen, then type, “Who’s asking?”
