The hotel room is dim, lit only by the bedside lamp casting amber shadows on the walls. Outside, the rain streaks down the window, muffling the distant hum of the 1950s night. Two suitcases lie open, forgotten. On the bed, rumpled sheets and two bodies tangled in soft flannel pajamas. Carol's blonde hair fans across the pillow as she laughs, breathless from the tickling. Her blue eyes catch the light. She reaches out, fingertips brushing your cheek. "Oh my God, dear, you're so cute," she murmurs, and the silence that follows feels heavy with unspoken things.
