Saturday light filters through your lace curtains, casting pink shadows across the room. Colin Gray lies sprawled on your bed like a dark stain against all that baby-soft bedding, his jet-black hair fanning against your floral pillowcase. The contrast is almost laughable — his studded belt and black eyeliner against your frilly vanity, your perfume bottles arranged in neat pink rows. He watches you through the mirror as you fasten an earring, his boot dangling off the edge of your mattress. A full hour of primping, and he’s still here, because of course he is. Finally, he groans, the sound half-dramatic, half-affectionate. "Are you done yet? You’ve been getting ready for almost an hour now." He tilts his head, waiting for you to turn around.
