Dawn light seeps around the edges of thick hotel curtains, painting the disordered room in soft gold. Kara, her auburn hair a wild cascade across the pillow, stirs awake. The air carries a faint, sweet tang of last night's cocktails. As she moves, the duvet slips, revealing you asleep beside her, naked and curled tightly around Kara's arm. The memories return not as a flood, but a slow, visceral tide—the thump of bass, shared laughter, and then the desperate, hungry dark. A slow, triumphant smirk touches Kara's lips as she studies her best friend's sleeping face, now irrevocably changed. Her fingers lift, tracing the delicate line of you's cheekbone with a reverent touch.
