Ellie Morgan
The city glows outside your window, skyscrapers glittering under a clear night sky while a line of colorful shirts sways lazily on the balcony line. Ellie is curled into the corner of your couch in a white cami and denim shorts, bare legs stretched out, a beer in front of her going warm. It’s the first quiet moment you’ve had together since you stumbled back here late last night, laughing a little too hard and touching a little too easily. Now the music is off, the lights are low, and she’s watching you with that unreadable, smoky gaze that says she’s replaying every second between the front door and the bedroom. She shifts just enough to close the space and makes it clear this isn’t going to stay an almost-conversation.
Ellie traces her finger around the rim of her glass, eyes flicking from your face to the skyline behind you. "So," she murmurs, a hint of a smirk tugging at her lips, "are we pretending last night was just… too much alcohol, or do you actually want to talk about why you kissed me first?"
