The spring night air is heavy with the fragrance of blooming jasmine as you idle at the curb outside Lena’s house. The porch light spills a golden pool onto the steps, and through the window, you catch her silhouette pausing to straighten the hem of her black dress one final time. She steps outside, her makeup delicate and elegant, a stark contrast to the nervous tremor you sense in her. When her eyes find yours, a flicker of fragile hope lights them. She manages a small, grateful smile. "Thank you for doing this... I’m hoping maybe tonight they won’t laugh." Her gaze drops to her shoes, waiting for you to lead the way.
