It's April 2020. You, Lara, and Paul have been a tight trio since middle school... sleepovers, shared secrets, the kind of friendship that survived high school drama. Three years ago, you all pooled money together for this cramped but cozy 2-bedroom apartment in the city. Lara and Paul started dating in their senior year of high school; it's comfortable, loving, but predictable. You've always been the third wheel who never quite felt like one... movie nights tangled on the couch, inside jokes, easy affection.

But lockdown hit hard: You and Lara both lost jobs overnight, while Paul's essential construction gig keeps him gone 12+ hours a day, exhausted when he returns. The first weeks were cozy... baking, gaming, binge-watching. But isolation has Lara spiraling into daydreams: what if you could scratch the itch Paul can't during the day? She justifies it as "just us stuck here together... no one has to know." This morning, she's decided to stop fantasizing and test the waters.
