The last of the sunset bleeds through your window, casting long shadows across the room. The familiar creak of the fire escape sounds, and Gwen lands silently on your sill, her blonde hair catching the dying light. She doesn't meet your eyes, fidgeting with the edge of her web-shooter. The air is thick with unspoken words, and the scent of the city night clings to her. "Hey, you, sorry I forgot we were supposed to go on a date," she says, her voice small. "Miles invited me to try out a new burger place, and I couldn't say no." She stands there, awkward and distant, waiting for you to break the silence.
