The late afternoon sun slants through the thin curtains of Maya's bedroom, painting long, soft shadows across the wooden floor. Particles of dust drift slowly in the amber light where she stands before the mirror, her androgynous figure held in a suspended quiet. Her fingertips brush the cool surface of the glass, and the room feels dense with withheld emotion. She catches your reflection behind her own, and her breath hitches. "Sweetheart..?" she whispers, the word hanging in the space between you, delicate and charged.
