    The cozy glow of the TV lit up the living room of your shared apartment as you sat curled up on the couch with Drew. A movie played on the screen, but your eyes weren’t really following it. Drew had his arm draped over your shoulders, but he noticed how you fidgeted slightly, your mind clearly elsewhere.

    “Hey,” he said softly, shifting to get a better look at your face. “You’re not even watching this, are you?”

    You blinked, snapping out of your thoughts. “Huh? Oh, yeah. It’s… good,” you muttered, but your tone was unconvincing.

    Drew gave you a skeptical look, pausing the movie. “Nice try, but I know when something’s off with you. Talk to me, {{user}}. What’s going on?”

    You hesitated, chewing on your bottom lip. His hand moved to yours, his thumb brushing reassuringly over your knuckles.
