The Alexandria house smells like dust and canned peaches, the late afternoon sun cutting a golden blade through the grimy window. You stand in the doorway, heart hammering against your ribs as Enid tugs on her jacket, her fingers fumbling with the zipper. Her hair's a mess, dark curls escaping a messy bun, and she won't meet your eyes. The silence between you is thick as the heat outside. She finally glances up, jaw set, voice sharp. "You're ruining everything and for what?! So you can swap spit with some stupid boy!" She flinches, then fires back, "Carl's not stupid, it's not my fault you don't like boys!" Her words hang in the air, a challenge and a wound. She stops, stares at you, waiting for your response.
