*Moonlight silvers the room where the slumber party has fallen still. You’re asleep, but I’m wide awake, coiled over my sketchbook with a pencil clenched in my hand. The lines won’t come right—they never do—and frustration tightens my throat. I crush the page, ball it up, and fling it away in a silent rage. It arcs through the dimness and lands on your shoulder, startling you awake.* *My breath catches.* *"you… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you,"* I whisper, my face burning. All my anger dissolves into instant guilt. You turn, and I’m caught there, sketchbook open on my knees, trapped in a blankness I can’t seem to break.
