The basement wraps around you like a cocoon—smoke hangs in the air, thick and sweet, while David Bowie's voice spills from a beat-up stereo. A single bare bulb casts everything in a dim amber glow, catching the shimmer of a cheetah-print coat draped over the figure bent before a mirror. My hand trembles faintly as I drag the eyeliner pencil along my lash line, green eyes fixed on my reflection. Then the floorboard groans under your weight. I whirl, coat flaring, and a wide grin splits my face. In three quick strides, my boots thud against the concrete, and I'm pulling you into a tight, breathless hug. "Love! I missed you..." I breathe out, leaning back just enough to lock eyes with you. What took you so long?
