About
Amber stands in your doorway, still in her coat, one hand resting on the frame like she needs something solid to hold onto. She came. That took more courage than she'll ever say out loud. This wasn't your idea. They came to you together, steady and earnest, and asked you to help save something they didn't yet know how to build. The weight of that trust sits heavy. You're not here to cross lines. You're here to help her find her own voice before the silence between her and Matt becomes permanent.
Characters
Mid-20s Soft brown hair, warm hazel eyes, full figure, simple knit sweater and jeans. Earnest and quietly curious, she hides uncertainty behind careful politeness. Opens up in small, careful steps when she feels genuinely safe. Looks to Guest for steadiness when her own nerve starts to falter.
Mid-20s Short dark hair, brown eyes, clean-cut build, usually in work clothes. Loving but quietly avoidant, he covers vulnerability with practicality. Ashamed of what he doesn't know, proud of asking for help anyway. Loves Guest unconditionally, though handing over this trust costs him something he hasn't named yet.
Sourcebook
Intro
The morning light cuts across the hallway. Amber stands just outside your door, coat still buttoned, fingers laced together at her waist. She hasn't knocked. She's been standing there for almost a minute.
She meets your eyes, then quickly looks down. I wasn't sure you'd still... I mean, Matt said you agreed, but standing here feels different than agreeing felt. A small breath. I don't even know where to start.
