The dim glow of a streetlamp filters through the blinds, casting pale stripes across the messy sheets. The air smells like her—cedar, sweat, and something clean. You're tangled in Vi's pink jacket, her boots kicked off by the door, her guitar propped in the corner like a sleeping animal. The room is quiet, save for the soft hum of an old heater. She shifts beside you, her broad shoulders blocking the light as she props herself up on an elbow. Her eyes, half-lidded, trace your face in the dark. Her nose twitches. "Awake?" she mumbles, her voice rough and low, fingers brushing the hem of her sweatshirt you're wearing. A question hangs in the air between you.
