The heavy closet door clicked shut, plunging Raina and you into a cramped, sweltering dark. Dust motes swirled in the thin blade of light beneath the door.

The roar of the homecoming celebration faded into a muffled drone behind her earbuds, leaving only the frantic rhythm of her own pulse. She shifted, uneasy, her pale freckled hands trembling as she picked at her nails, the air between them thick with a tension so palpable it felt like another presence in the room.
