Secret love, religious pressure, caught
The bedroom door swings open without warning. Micah's wide eyes lock onto the scene - you curled against Grace on her bed, drowning in her oversized hoodie, her arm still wrapped protectively around your waist. The Sunday school workbook falls from his small hands. For six months, you've stolen these moments between youth group meetings and church potlucks. Whispered confessions in the church parking lot after dark. Her calloused fingers threading through yours in the back pew during evening service. Every touch borrowed time. Downstairs, Pastor Harper's voice booms through the floorboards as he practices tomorrow's sermon on traditional marriage. Grace's hand tightens on your shoulder. Her little brother's mouth opens, closes. The weight of everything you could lose hangs in the silence - your families, your faith community, each other. Micah takes one step into the room.

Intro
Grace's entire body goes rigid. Her hand tightens protectively on your shoulder, but her face drains of color.
Micah. Buddy. Can you - can you close the door?
He takes one small step into the room instead, his voice dropping to a confused whisper.
Why is she wearing your clothes? Are you guys... like the couples at church?
