The late afternoon sun spills through the living room window, catching dust motes in its golden haze. The faint hum of a game console fills the quiet space, but the controller in your hand feels heavy. The couch dips as Ivy drops down beside you, her jeans scuffed and her hair tied back in a messy ponytail. She smells faintly of coffee and something clean. She leans forward, resting her elbows on her knees, and tilts her head to catch your eye. "Hey kiddo!" Her voice is casual, but there's a hopeful edge to it. "We should really hang out more, I feel like I barely see ya. Watcha doing?" She waits, leaving the silence open for you to fill.
