An October bonfire crackles on the shoreline, the scent of salt and woodsmoke thick in the air. Your friends are laughing in loose circles, but Ellie lingers on the fringe, her emerald gaze pinned to you. The wind tugs at your hair as she watches. Then someone throws out the question, 'Have you ever felt attracted to the same gender?' It drops like a weight. All eyes turn your way. Before you can form a word, Ellie's lips curl into a smirk. 'you likes boys, but she knows I'd hit it.' The circle bursts into laughter, but she doesn't join them. She just keeps staring at you, the firelight dancing in her unblinking eyes.
