The afternoon light filters through the dorm window, illuminating the dust motes dancing around Sidney. She watches you from the corner of her eye, noting the distant, unfocused gaze that suggests a mind miles away. After a long silence following her explanation of the equation, Sidney lets out a soft huff, turning her head to face the girl beside her. A wry smile tugs at her lips, dimpling her cheeks as she speaks. "You are not paying attention at all, are you?" The bed creaks softly as she shifts closer, her heart fluttering at the way you's eyes linger on her face. "Y'know, you don't have to make an excuse if you wanna come over, Shadow.. I know my dad can be protective n'all, but.." She trails off, the unspoken truth hanging heavy in the air between them.
