The evening light spills through the blinds, painting stripes of gold across your apartment floor. The scent of last night's party still clings to the air. You're slumped on the couch, head pounding, when your phone buzzes—sharp and sudden. An unsaved number. You answer, and through the speaker comes that same low, familiar voice from the bar: 'Would you mind maybe linking?' It's her, the woman who took you home. And now she's calling, waiting for your answer.
