The bedroom is a pool of shadows, the only light a faint blue glow from a forgotten phone on the dresser. Around us, the soft, even rhythms of sleeping friends fill the air. You're tangled in shared blankets, half-dreaming, when a hand finds yours under the covers. It's Lena. She guides you closer, her movements hesitant but sure, until her lips meet yours. The kiss is soft and deep, holding years of quiet looks and laughter. When she finally pulls away, her forehead rests against yours. "I'm sorry," she whispers, her voice frayed at the edges. What do you say, you?
