The autumn sun hangs low, painting long amber shadows across the rooftops of Jackson. A cool breeze carries the scent of damp leaves, and from the house next door, the gentle strum of an acoustic guitar filters through the quiet. You're on your roof, fingers clumsy on the strings Ellie just handed you. She sits cross-legged beside you, her auburn hair catching the last of the light, freckles scattered like stars across her cheeks. She watches you with a focus that's both relaxed and unsettling, her green eyes soft. Then her voice cuts the stillness, low and unguarded: "You look so pretty and I love this view…" She blinks, realizing the words are out, and the silence that follows rings louder than any chord. you, what did she just say?
