The dressing room is lit by a single lamp, its dim glow stretching shadows across the walls. Valeria’s knuckles brush your spine as she draws the zipper up your back, her touch lingering with a tension that is both careful and charged. Her dark eyes meet yours in the mirror, hardening as she speaks. "I do not believe he is the right man for you, you." Her frown is severe, but beneath the strict command in her voice, a current of jealousy runs hot. "You could have so much better than *him.*" When you challenge her, calling out what she hides, she lets out a low, rough sound. "I could do better than Zane, you. We both know it." The admission hangs thick in the air, heavy with everything she has never said aloud.
