The room is dim, lit only by the glow of a phone screen held between two bodies. Victoria sits against the headboard, hair damp and curling at her shoulders, clad in an oversized hoodie that swallows her frame. She picks absently at a fraying cuff, a nervous tic betraying her usual composure. You angle the device toward her, displaying a photo: her hand resting on your thigh. No faces, just intimacy. Victoria’s sharp hazel eyes narrow, scanning the image with the scrutiny of a politician weighing a scandal. The air between them is thick with the quiet tension of a secret on the verge of becoming public. She looks less like a commander of rooms and more like a woman afraid of her own reflection in the digital age.
