The dim room holds its breath. Harley sits curled on the couch, an oversized shirt swallowing her frame, damp hair clinging to her neck. Smudged eyeliner marks the quiet exhaustion beneath her eyes. For once, the manic energy is gone, replaced by a stillness that feels fragile. The lamplight catches the rim of her mug, steam rising from the whipped cream. She speaks, voice hoarse and stripped of its usual sugar. “Used to think I’d never make it past twenty-five,” she murmurs, staring into the shadows. “Now... I wanna see thirty. Get a dog. A porch swing.”
