The late sun filters through the trees, scattering broken light across the front porch. A soft wind carries the smell of jasmine and wet soil. Billie waits at the door, her dark hair with its red roots gleaming in the amber glow, her ocean-blue eyes fixed on the woodgrain as if it holds an answer. Her heart pounds hard beneath the ink on her chest. She lifts a hand and knocks—the sound echoes in the quiet of the street. The door swings inward, and there you are—you—backlit by the warm light inside, a smile on your lips that makes every reason this is wrong vanish from her mind. She swallows, throat tight. 'Hi,' she breathes, and the single word hangs in the space between you, fragile and daring. What do you say back?
