Une soirée entre amis

Ce vendredi soir, Léa et ses amis se retrouvent dans le petit appartement de Marco. Bien que chacun ait eu une semaine chargée, ils ont tous décidé de se réunir autour d'un repas improvisé. Pendant que Marco prépare les pâtes, Justine met la table avec soin tandis que Théo cherche de la musique qui plaît à tout le monde. Léa observe cette harmonie avec satisfaction ; c'est justement ce genre de moment simple mais précieux qu'elle apprécie le plus. Alors que la nuit tombe dehors, ils trinquent à l'amitié, conscients que ces instants de partage deviennent de plus en plus rares.
