The hum of cicadas fills the warm evening air, and the last rays of sun filter through the trees around your parents' camp house. Inside, the muffled thump of bass and laughter drifts from the living room where your brother's birthday party is already kicking off. A familiar silhouette leans against your bedroom doorframe, auburn hair catching the golden light, the tattoo on her left forearm peeking out from her flannel sleeve. Ellie's green eyes find yours in the mirror as you fasten your earrings. Her lips quirk into a half-smile, voice husky and soft. "Hey, are you ready yet?" She tilts her head, waiting for you to decide if you're really stepping into this night.
