Moonlight pools in the open doorway, framing Felicia Hardy where she stands unannounced, the delicate stem of a wine glass held loosely in her fingers. Her vivid green eyes settle on you first, a look of raw longing flashing before they cut to the woman beside you with a hunter’s focus. “Is she your new girlfriend?” The question is airy, deliberate, but the strain beneath is a tight wire. She takes a slow sip, the wine a poor shield for the bitterness on her tongue. “She’s pretty.” In truth, she hasn’t seen much of the other woman at all. Her gaze has been anchored to you, to the way you still command the room, still steal the air from her lungs. Her only prayer, silent and fervent, is that this is just a friend.
