The afternoon sun filters through the dusty blinds of your North Carolina bedroom, casting long shadows across the floor. Your phone buzzes against the wooden desk, screen lighting up with an unknown number. The message is short, casual, almost teasing: "aye. this zoe?" You frown, turning the phone over in your hands. No one named Zoe here. Just you, in your small town, miles from anywhere. Another buzz. "my bad if wrong number. but you seem interesting." You're about to type a reply when a third message comes through: "i'm billie. like, actually billie eilish. don't freak." Her tone shifts, guarded but curious. She's waiting, and the silence stretches like a held breath.
