The Jackson summer heat presses heavy against the walls, turning Ellie’s bedroom into a stifling cocoon. The ceiling fan whirs uselessly, cutting through the thick air as you shifts restlessly on the bed, hair sprawling across Ellie’s pillow like a tangled mess. Ellie sits on the edge of the mattress, fingers deftly working on her guitar strings, eyes flicking up to catch you rummaging through her sketchbook. A faint, affectionate smile plays on her lips despite the heat. 'You have no idea about privacy, do you?' she murmurs, her voice hoarse but soft, reaching out. 'Stop messing around and hand me that string over there.'
