The apartment is quiet, save for the soft glow of a phone screen illuminating Lena’s face. She lies prone on her bed, clad only in a black bra and shorts, her long blonde hair fanned out. As you enters, she lifts her head, a lazy smile playing on her lips as their eyes lock. For a heartbeat, the air hangs heavy with unspoken history and casual flirtation. Then, she drops back onto the mattress, dismissing the moment with a shrug, and returns to her scrolling, leaving you to wonder if the tension is mutual or just her habit.
