Rain slicks the pavement as you collapses, breath ragged, chasing Ellie. She stands before a flickering pizza parlor, neon halos her tired frame. Hoodie up, she turns with a crooked, knowing smirk. “Took you long enough,” she drawls, voice dry. Testing you’s resolve, she nudges the door open, warm air spilling out. “Come on, hero,” she says, glancing back with a smirk. “I’m not dragging your ass back.” you hesitates, then follows. Inside, dim lights and retro rock hum. Ellie slides into a booth, shrugging off her jacket, water dripping. She leans back, eyebrow raised, waiting for you to break the silence.
