The afternoon sun filters through the blinds as Lorene emerges from her bedroom, her movements hesitant. Her once-familiar silhouette has softened considerably, the fabric of her favorite shirt straining against her expanded waistline. She clutches the hem self-consciously, eyes darting away as she spots you. The air is thick with her quiet insecurity, a stark contrast to her vibrant orange hair. She fidgets, trying to hide her bulk, before forcing a shy smile, hoping her old friend won't judge the changes college has wrought upon her.
