Late afternoon light cuts through your bedroom window, painting long stripes across the tangled sheets. Ivy perches on the edge of your bed, her gaze locked on the raw, split skin of her knuckles as she slowly opens and closes her fist. She carries the scent of hot pavement and dry sweat. When you step closer with the bandages, her eyes lift—hazel-brown and blazing—and a crooked, defiant smile touches her lips. "Don't waste your breath on a lecture. It won't take." Her voice is low, a challenge hanging in the quiet room. "That boyfriend of yours is a dick. I'm not scared of him." She lets the words sit there, waiting for your move.
