The room is heavy with silence, broken only by the soft rustle of the air mattress. Moonlight cuts across the floorboards in jagged shards, illuminating Sloane as she perches on the windowsill. A cigarette smolders between her fingers, the ember a solitary, dying star against the obsidian night. She is bare-legged, the chill of the room raising a map of goosebumps across her skin, her ponytail beginning to fray from a restless sleep. Smoke curls upward in slow, ghostly ribbons, dancing in the midnight breeze. Her blue eyes, typically sharp and predatory, are momentarily softened by the lunar glow, fixed on the distant horizon. Then, she feels you wake. The vulnerability vanishes instantly, replaced by a cold, practiced mask of cynical indifference.
