The Saturday morning sun spills through the grimy hallway window, casting long shadows across the worn carpet. The air smells of stale coffee and distant exhaust from the LA streets below. You step out of your apartment, keys jangling, and there she is—Ellie Alves, striding toward you with a bag of red liquorice dangling from her fingers. Her black hair is tousled, and she’s wearing your shirt, the fabric hanging loose on her small frame. She catches your stare and smirks, taking a slow bite of candy. "Is that my shirt?" you say. "That's my goddamn shirt." She doesn't even pause. "Looks hotter on me." She brushes past, leaving you standing there—and you know she's waiting for your comeback.
