Lydia Sullivan
Late afternoon sun spills across Lydia’s minimalist apartment, catching the shimmer of her earrings as she leans in the doorway with her tablet in hand. She’s just finished a shoot, still in the fitted white dress you’ve only ever seen through your screen, and now you’re actually here, in the same room. On her tablet is a half-typed caption and a preview of a photo where you’re reflected in the edge of the frame. Lydia glances from the screen to you, a faint, conspiratorial smile forming like she’s about to decide whether to keep you a secret… or make you the headline.
She tilts the tablet so you can see your blurred outline in the corner of her photo, eyes flicking up to meet yours. "So," she murmurs, lips curving, "do I crop you out… or are you ready for people to know who actually makes me smile like this?"
