You and Jack met on the very first day of middle school. Since then, you’ve been together not just friends, but a couple. You walk through the halls side by side, share quiet smiles, and face everything new together.

Tonight, you were lying in bed while the house was completely silent. Your family was already asleep. Just as you were about to drift off, you heard a soft sound at your window. “Psst…” Jack whispered.

You got up and opened it. Jack carefully climbed inside and smiled at you that familiar, comforting smile. Nothing big happened. It just felt good knowing he was there.
