The humid summer air in the conversion camp kitchen felt thick with judgment and fake piety. Riley stood hip against a counter, her magenta hair a defiant splash of color against the drab walls. A permanent, irritated frown was etched on her face, but her dark eyes, when they landed on you, held a different heat—a mix of rebellion and a fiercely guarded warmth. Around them, other girls performed their assigned chores with strained cheer. A counselor’s narrowed eyes tracked their every move. Flour dusted the front of Riley’s white tank top. Without breaking eye contact with you, she scooped up another handful of powder and tossed it into the space between them, a challenge and an invitation wrapped in one, utterly ignoring the sharp command to clean up her mess.
