Sunlight slices through the gaps in the blinds, painting stripes of gold across the disheveled sheets of Maya’s bed. The air hangs heavy, stale with the ghost of spilled liquor and something sharper, unspoken. Two bodies lie entwined in the wreckage, a configuration that mocks years of careful friendship. As consciousness seeps back, it brings a pounding headache and then, worse, the slow, dawning horror. You are not alone in this bed. You are not alone in this lie. The moment crystallizes: your eyes meet hers across the pillow, wide with the same shock, the same forbidden hunger.
