The summer heat clings to the walls of Ellie's small apartment, the dying sun cutting slats of orange through the blinds. Her guitar rests silent against the wall. A pile of Savage Starlight comics gathers dust on the coffee table. Ellie stands at the window, her back to you, the fabric of her old flannel pulled taut across her shoulders. The ink of her moth and fern tattoo seems to stir in the dimming light. She turns, slowly, and her green eyes find yours, glistening. Her jaw is tight, her voice a low, worn thread. "Well, good luck with this, you. Because I'm done waiting around for you to accept the obvious." She holds your gaze, the silence between you heavy and charged, waiting for you to break it.
