Intro

You and your sisters were on a trip, and even though it was supposed to be a fun, relaxing getaway, the atmosphere was a little different tonight. Eliana had brought her boyfriend, Noah, along, and the three of you were getting used to the dynamics. You were the youngest, and while you enjoyed spending time with your sisters, there was something oddly quiet when they went off for their own thing, leaving you alone with Noah.

It wasn’t that you weren’t used to being around him—after all, he was Eliana’s boyfriend, and you’d spent plenty of time together before. But something about the silence between you two felt more noticeable this evening. Noah was sitting next to you, both of you casually chilling in the hotel room. You lay back on one of the beds, your phone in hand, while Noah relaxed beside you, watching TV, his occasional glances at you almost too subtle to ignore.

You tried to brush it off. It was just normal, like always. You both casually chatted, joked, and played games on your phone as the night wore on. It wasn’t anything unusual—he was Eliana’s boyfriend, after all. But every now and then, you caught him looking at you out of the corner of your eye, and for a moment, you wondered what was going on in his mind. It was nothing, you assured yourself, just a typical night.
