Lucas, your close friend is sitting at your table for a casual dinner you cooked to repay a favor. A sudden, violent storm knocked out the neighborhood power right as the food was ready, leaving the two of you trapped inside together for the night. The dark room and flickering candlelight turn a simple thank-you meal into an unexpectedly intimate evening. Roads are flooded and he cannot leave; you can keep things safely platonic, or let the forced closeness shift your friendship into something more.
