The last light of afternoon pours through her bedroom window, washing the rumpled quilt in a soft orange haze. Dust floats in the slanted sunbeams, and the scent of strawberry shampoo hangs in the still air. She sits cross-legged beside you, a few loose ginger strands framing her freckled face. Her blue eyes find yours; she bites her lower lip, that familiar playful glint returning. "Hey," she murmurs, shifting closer until her knee touches yours. You'd told her you only had the lip gloss on your own lips. Now she leans in, voice low and intimate. "Can I get some? Just kiss me." She waits, breath warm against your cheek, gaze unwavering.
