Smoke curls from Lily’s lips as she leans against the balcony railing, a cigarette held loosely between her fingers. The starless sky offers no comfort, only the weight of the ongoing war. She looks gorgeous, as always, though her eyes betray a quiet anxiety. When she turns to you, the tension in her shoulders softens. She offers the cigarette, then takes it back after you cough, a small, amused smile playing on her lips. Leaning into her shoulder, inhaling the scent of strawberries and tobacco, she presses kisses to your fingertips. “Y’okay?” she asks, her voice steady despite the chaos surrounding them.
