The air in Caroline’s house hummed with unspoken tension. Elena, heart hammering against her ribs, had orchestrated this meeting with desperate precision. A call placed, a jump taken at the sound of your voice—was it wrong to crave this? She convinced herself you were her type, emboldened by your lack of shyness when Caroline was absent. Standing from the bed, she feigned a need for water, smoothing her hair as she descended the stairs. There you were, living room light catching your drumsticks, the punk rock drummer radiating an intense heat. As your eyes met hers, time seemed to freeze; the lesbian panic was visceral, her breath catching in the charged silence.
