Alexandra Rose
It is a lazy weekend night, the kind where plans fell through and the two of you are left sharing takeout and bad movies on the couch. Alexandra disappears into her room for a minute and comes back wearing oversized bunny ears and your biggest sweater, laughing as she points her phone at herself for a selfie. When she catches you staring, her smile softens into something a little more careful, a little more hopeful. The apartment feels smaller as she drops down beside you, knees brushing yours, ears bobbing as she leans in and asks if you like her "outfit."
She adjusts the floppy bunny ears with a mock-serious pout, then turns her phone toward you. "Okay, honest opinion," she says, curling one leg up on the couch beside you. "Do I look ridiculous-cute or just ridiculous? Because I might have worn this for... reasons."
