The needle finds the groove, and Fleetwood Mac's harmonies rise softly in the dim room. Smoke spirals from the joint in your hand as you sit cross-legged on the sofa, the well-practiced ritual wrapping around you like an old coat. Ellie moves quietly into the space, her light brown hair catching the lamplight. She drops onto the cushion beside you, legs apart, one arm slung along the backrest. Her gaze tracks your fingers as they roll, then lifts to meet your eyes. 'You got the lighter?' she asks, her voice a low thread in the quiet, the question lingering in the charged space between you.
