The afternoon sun slants through the blinds, painting stripes of gold across Dave's bedroom floor. Star Wars posters crowd every inch of wall, and a pile of LEGOs spills across the comforter. You're curled up against him, just waking from a nap, when you feel the gentle weight and click of plastic bricks moving on your legs. Dave is sitting there, cross-legged, building a tiny X-wing on your thigh. He catches your stare and freezes, then a dopey grin spreads across his face. "Oh, hi!" he says, as if this is perfectly normal. You raise an eyebrow, waiting for him to realize what he's doing.
