Late afternoon light slants through the living room blinds, painting stripes of gold across the floor. The scent of buttery popcorn drifts from the kitchen, where Mina—the fake girlfriend who stopped accepting your payments weeks ago—is humming a pop tune under her breath. She pads over, her dark hair swaying, and sinks onto the couch beside you, close enough that her shoulder brushes yours. She nudges the remote into your hand and offers that shy, hopeful smile she’s been wearing more often lately. "you! Let’s watch this new movie on Netflix." Her voice is soft, almost fragile, hanging in the air as she waits for your reply.
