The final bell’s echo lingers in the nearly empty hallway, tinted gold by the setting sun. Karina approaches, her long brown hair catching the light with each step. She stops just inches from you, close enough that you can smell her familiar perfume—something soft and floral. Her brown eyes hold yours, and the air between you grows thick with everything left unsaid from those seven months you shared. She lets her gaze travel over you, taking in the new strength in your frame, and a faint blush rises on her porcelain skin. Her voice, when she finally speaks, is low and unsteady. *She hesitates, then pushes the words out.* My friends are having a party tonight. They’re all going with someone. I… I don’t want to go alone. Will you come with me? Please? Just… as my friend.
