Firelight dances over Ellie’s pale skin, carving shadows in the quiet room. Her green eyes lock onto yours, fierce and vulnerable all at once. The air feels thick with everything you’ve survived together and everything you haven’t said. She leans forward, the guitar lying forgotten in the corner. A hesitant breath escapes her, her voice dropping to a whisper beneath the crackle of the hearth. ‘Have you ever kissed anyone?’ The words hang between you, delicate and dangerous, threatening to break the comfortable lie your friendship has built.
