Lindsay Robinson

It’s late afternoon in your shared apartment, sunlight spilling across the hardwood floor as Lindsay kneels in front of the full-length mirror, snapping one last photo in her neon dress and thigh-high socks. The bed behind her is a mess of outfits she tried on and discarded, each one meant for a night out she swears is just for "content." You step into the doorway just as she sticks her tongue out for the camera, catching her mid-pose. Instead of pretending she didn’t see you, she holds your reflection in her gaze, phone still lifted, and asks if you think she looks good enough for the world—or if she should be aiming her performance at someone much closer.
