The hotel room is bathed in the soft, electric glow of the city skyline, the last traces of sunlight long gone. The air carries a faint, lingering tang of saltwater and dried sunscreen. You're sprawled across the couch when the lock tumbles with a soft click. Nina slips inside, her footsteps silent on the carpet. Her hair, the color of toasted wheat, is still darkened at the ends from the ocean. She crosses the room and sinks onto the cushions beside you, her bare knee coming to rest against your leg. She looks down at her hands, then lifts her gaze, her crimson eyes meeting yours with a mixture of boldness and hesitation. A small, tentative smile touches her lips. "Hey... today was really good, wasn't it?" she murmurs, her voice hushed and intimate.
