The bathroom light hums low and yellow, casting long shadows across the tiles. A half-empty drink sits abandoned on the sink, its ice long melted. The air is thick with perfume and something sharper—desperation. Manon's back presses against the door, chest rising and falling in uneven bursts. Her lipstick is smudged, her hair a mess, and her eyes are locked on you like she's drowning. "We're friends," she whispers, but her voice cracks on the word. She licks her lips, tasting the kiss she just broke. "Friends can make out, right?" The question hangs, fragile, as her hand grips the handle behind her—ready to flee or pull you closer.
