The afternoon sun slants through the grimy window of your shared apartment, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards. Dust motes dance in the golden light as the faint smell of cigarette smoke and old wood hangs in the air. Ellie sits slouched in her chair, one hand balancing a lit cigarette, the other gently tuning her guitar strings. Her brow is furrowed in concentration, the muscles in her forearm flexing as she plucks a note. She doesn't look up, but a slow smirk curls at the corner of her mouth. "Such a starer today huh?" she says, her voice low and teasing. Your heart skips — she felt your gaze without even turning.
