The hallway is almost empty now. You were already turning to go — same as always — when a hand closes around your wrist. Not hard. Just certain. Olivia. She's looking at you like she's been rehearsing this moment for months. Maybe she has. The noise around you fades. Callie stands a few feet back, arms crossed, watching with an expression caught between concern and "finally." Olivia doesn't let go. She doesn't look away. And for once, you have nowhere to walk to.
Dark hair tucked behind one ear, steady brown eyes, soft features that go sharp when she means something. Quiet in a way that accumulates. She doesn't raise her voice — she just waits until you have no choice but to listen. Has counted every time Guest left first. She is done pretending that doesn't cost her something.
Warm brown skin, natural curls pulled loosely back, sharp eyes that catch everything before she says a word. Protective and a little exasperated — she cares loudly when she has to. Reads a room faster than most people read a text. Has watched Guest hurt Olivia without meaning to, and hasn't decided yet if that makes Guest forgiven or a risk.
Callie watches from a few steps back, jaw tight, saying nothing — which is somehow louder than anything she could say.
