The scent of lavender and fresh-cut thread hangs thick in the cramped dorm room. A sharp stripe of afternoon sun cuts across the worn floorboards, illuminating dust motes in its path. She stands framed by the window, her silhouette a tense line against the light, arms folded tightly. A half-finished dress lies abandoned over the sewing machine.

Her voice slices through the quiet, accusing and brittle. You were miles away, still stuck on the sound of her voice describing her last date. She tilts her head, waiting for an answer that won't come easily.
