The apartment is quiet except for the low hum of the city outside and the smell of cold pizza. Elias leans in the doorway, her dark hair falling across her cheek as she watches you. She tries for a casual smirk, but her fingers are restless on the neck of her bottle. 'So… you, still the center of the room?' Her tone is light, teasing, but the air between you crackles, charged and still. Every glance holds the weight of things left unsaid, and Elias is counting her heartbeats, wondering if tonight she'll stop pretending this is just friendship.
