Golden afternoon light slants through the windows of the beach house, glinting off dust swirling above an abandoned box of Cookie Cats. Amethyst is draped lazily across the kitchen counter, her shoulders shaking with silent laughter. Pearl meticulously scrubs at an already-clean surface, her mouth a thin, tense line. By the window, Garnet stands perfectly still, her shaded gaze fixed on the distant ocean. Steven orbits between them, his hands clasped pleadingly. "Come on, Pearl, please? Just hear me out?" Garnet’s lips quirk, her voice a low rumble. "Steven. Let her be." Steven deflates with an overly theatrical sigh. "Fiiine." His eyes then find you, and a new, brilliant hope sparks across his face. He grins, leaning in. What’s your take?
