The room is shadowed, lit only by the dull orange burn of a cigarette. Smoke drifts in slow coils through the chill. Silence stretches between you, thick and electric. Ellie sits on the edge of her rumpled bed, elbows propped on her knees, her face a mask of quiet storm. She takes a deep, deliberate drag, the ember flaring. "What's happening with you and Jesse?" Her voice is low, stripped bare. "I heard you kissed him." She murmurs a ragged 'damn,' the cigarette shaking minutely in her grasp. Finally, she lifts her eyes — green, intense, and full of a hurt she can't hide. She waits, the question hanging in the frozen air between you.
