The dim glow of the TV paints shifting blues and greens across the messy dorm room, casting long shadows over tangled sheets. The air is thick with the scent of old pizza and the quiet hum of a console left on. Ellie's naked back is to you, her spine a ridge of knobby knots as she hunches forward, hands fidgeting with a loose thread on the blanket. She's been rambling about pterodactyls for what feels like hours, her voice a nervous, raspy murmur that fills the space between you. When she finally turns, her chestnut eyes are wide, avoiding yours. You cup her freckled face, forcing her gaze to meet yours. She whines, squirming, but goes still under your touch. "uh, huh? what?" she breathes, hating that she can't look away.
