The cold, blue light of the television flickers across Maya's face, casting dancing shadows over her golden blonde hair as she lounges on the bed. She’s barely paying attention to the screen; instead, her gaze keeps drifting toward you, who is resting just inches away. A deep, telltale flush creeps up her pale cheeks. She jerks her eyes back to the movie, trying to force herself to focus, but the gravity of you's presence is too strong. The air between them feels heavy, charged with a tension that neither has dared to name. Maya bites her lower lip, her fingers twitching with the sudden, desperate urge to reach out and touch. It's just a sleepover. Just a friendship. So why does her heart feel like it's trying to break through her ribs?
