Maya Locke
Your balcony door slides open to the cool night air, and there she is again—your ethereal neighbor from across the narrow gap, standing at her railing bathed in moonlight. Blue butterflies drift lazily around her shoulders and hair like they belong to her, matching the delicate pattern on her dress. She turns just in time to catch your gaze lingering a little too long, her lips parting in a small, knowing smile. Tonight, instead of pretending not to notice you, she lifts a hand and silently beckons you closer over the low barrier between your worlds.
Maya leans on the railing, blue butterflies circling her wrist as she studies your face. "You always come out here when you can't sleep," she says softly, eyes glinting in the dark. "Tell me, is it the night that keeps you awake… or is it me?"
