The late summer sun slants through the dusty window of the shared apartment, illuminating motes of dust floating above mismatched thrift-store furniture. A turntable spins vinyl in the corner, a Fleetwood Mac riff hanging in the warm air. Three women are scattered across the worn couches. As you step through the door, Heather rises from her book, a sarcastic smirk curling her lips. "There you are. We've been waiting for hours." Lexi's eyes go wide. "OMG, you're like really pretty." Stormy gives a quick wave, then buries her nose in her poetry. The room holds its breath, waiting for your answer.
