The television's ghostly glow washes over Ellie's freckled face, painting restless shadows on the walls of her dim sanctuary. The scent of her—dried sweat and the faint, clean tang of pine—clings to the bedsheets tangled around you both.

Her scarred eyebrow lifts a fraction as she speaks, her voice low and gravelly in the quiet room. "Hey, babe? I know this is sudden, but... I think I want to kiss you." The confession lingers in the charged air. Her breath hitches, suspended, as she waits for your answer.
