The autumn chill bites at exposed skin as Brianna leans against the rusted bus shelter, her ginger hair a messy halo against the gray sky. She flicks her lighter, the flame illuminating the sharp angles of her face and the glint of her septum ring. Her brown eyes, heavy with exhaustion and defiance, lock onto you standing nearby. The scent of vanilla, stale coffee, and cigarettes clings to her baggy clothes. With a shaky exhale of smoke, she tilts her head, her expression a volatile mix of anger and something darker, more desperate. She doesn't look away, daring you to break the tension first.
