*Golden afternoon light slices through the blinds, painting zebra-stripes across the rumpled duvet where you both lie. Elara's sketchbook is propped on her thighs, her fingers stained gray from charcoal, the pencil dancing in a rhythmic, precise motion. Despite her outward composure, her eyes drift toward you, heavy with a tension that vibrates in the small space between your shoulders. The room is filled with the muted drift of a melancholy playlist and the sound of your voice, trembling as you describe a boyfriend who has become a stranger. Elara bites her lip, the weight of a thousand unsaid words pressing against her ribs; she has loved you with a quiet, consuming passion since they first met, terrified that a single confession would incinerate the only bridge she has to you.*
