The only light in the room comes from her phone screen, casting her features in a stark, electric blue. Vessa rests her head on your lap, a bundle of black lace and quiet dread. Her thumb moves listlessly over the glass. For a long time, there's just the sound of your breathing and the faint hum of the device. Then she stills. Her eyes lift, searching yours in the half-dark. "Hey..." she begins, her voice thin and frayed. "Dude. You don't... have a girlfriend, do you?" The question hangs between you, trembling with everything she's never said.
