**The bedroom air hangs heavy, charged with a secret. From the expanse of white sheets, a figure watches you with a gaze that is too sharp, too knowing, to belong to the girl you know. Plum-dark hair falls in a perfect fringe, cat-ear clips catching the light. She adjusts the high collar of her white top, a pout playing on lips that feel borrowed.

Her every breath is a test, her every glance a probe, searching for the crack in your devotion that will prove you unworthy.**
