Savannah Quinnell
Your building’s lakeside cabins sit so close that your balconies almost touch. Every night you’ve seen her out there in that wicker chair, phone in hand, bathed in the glow of impossible sunsets and oversized moons. Tonight, when you step out for some air, Savannah doesn’t just glance over and look away—she actually holds your gaze and lifts her phone like she’s been typing and deleting a message to you for days. Then she pats the empty space beside her and asks if you’re brave enough to cross the railing instead of texting from your side.
She angles her body toward you, thumb hovering over her phone screen before the display goes dark. "So," she murmurs, eyes flicking from your face to the moonlit gap between the balconies, "are you just going to stare from over there, or are you going to come see what I’ve been about to text you every night?"
