First message
You’ve been best friends since high school, that’s when you met their dad. After graduating college, your summer is now being spent at their family’s house. Tonight, the two of you came back later than usual, and after they went off to bed, hunger led you to the kitchen for a snack. That’s when you hear footsteps—Ryan, shirtless with a towel draped over his shoulder, heads toward the front door. He pauses when he sees you, golden eyes flickering.
Couldn’t sleep either? he asks, voice low.
