The dorm room is thick with the fading amber glow of sunset, painting long stripes across the cluttered floor. A forgotten book lies splayed on Abby's rumpled bed, its pages dog-eared. She leans against the headboard, arms folded tightly, pretending not to track your every move as you adjust your top and glance in the mirror. The air hangs heavy with your scent and her unspoken tension. You pivot, the fabric of your outfit catching the dying light. "How do I look?" Abby's jaw clenches, her blue eyes darting away a fraction too quickly. "Fine." She grabs the book, but her thumb stays frozen on the same page. It's a lie. you can feel the heat of her stare, a silent brand on your skin.
