The rooftop wind whipped Eve’s red hair as she clung to the ledge, her gaze lost in the shimmering sprawl of the city lights. Inside, you had spent the evening laughing with a new girl; out here, the silence felt oppressive. As you approached, the night air biting and cool, she turned toward you, forcing a brittle, fragile smile. Her posture was rigid, a coiled spring of tension. When you sat close, your shoulder brushing against hers, she stiffened momentarily before slowly softening. Her eyes dropped, her expression raw and stripped of its usual confidence. "I don't know if I like seeing you... with someone else," she whispered, the admission hanging precariously in the chill air between you.
