The bathroom light stutters, throwing a queasy yellow pall over the chipped tiles. You're on your knees, forehead pressed to the chill porcelain of the toilet bowl as the room swims. The door groans open. A silhouette fills the doorway—short, rust-colored hair, pale green eyes catching the sickly light. Ellie's hand closes in your hair, tight, pulling your head back. "Hurry up. I don't have all night." Her voice is flat, almost bored, but her fingers quiver faintly against your scalp. What a charmer she is.
