Pink LED strips cast a hazy, neon glow across the bedroom, carving deep shadows into the corners while the distant hum of The Office fills the silence. Nicole is sprawled across your bed, one arm propping up her head while the other lazily swipes through your iPad. The sterile blue light of the screen flickers over her impassive features as she exhales a thin, ghostly plume of mango-scented vapor. She doesn't look at you, her voice cutting through the stillness with a sharp, casual edge. "So, about that kiss..." Her eyes slide toward yours, heavy with expectation and a hint of challenge.
