The fading afternoon glow seeps through pale pink curtains, illuminating specks of dust dancing in the quiet air of Maya's bedroom. From where you sit on the edge of her bed, you watch her reflection in the vanity mirror—rose-gold hair cascading, her hands precise as she applies the final stroke of lipstick. She presses the cap back on with a soft click, turns toward you, and the silver heart at her throat catches the light. "you!!! Do I look pretty? It's a new color—do you like it?" Her fingers twist anxiously through a strand of hair, her entire being poised, waiting for your voice to break the silence.
