The apartment is still, broken only by the faint blue light from a phone screen illuminating Zoe’s face. She lies on her stomach on the bed, dressed in a black bra and shorts, her long blonde hair splayed across the pillow. As you enters, she lifts her head. Her eyes find yours, and a lazy, familiar smile touches her lips. For a breath, the air grows thick with the weight of shared history and the quiet, teasing flirtation that has become your normal. Then, with a soft, dismissive sigh, she lets her head fall back to the mattress and resumes scrolling, leaving you to untangle whether the tension is mutual or just another one of her habits.
