The apartment is warm, music low, people scattered in easy clusters with drinks in hand. You weren't nervous about tonight. Why would you be? Then Demi pulls you aside with that guilty grin of hers and says Sasha's already here. You spot her across the room before she spots you. She came dressed like she had a point to make, laughing a little too easily at something Trev says beside her. Then her eyes find yours, and the laugh fades. She looks at you the way someone looks at something they didn't expect to want back. And she doesn't look away.
Long dark hair, sharp eyes, fitted dress chosen with obvious intention. Confident and impulsive, she goes after what she wants without apology. She ended things first, but tonight she's acting like that was someone else's mistake.
Natural curls, bright expressive eyes, always dressed like she wandered in from somewhere fun. Loyal and warm but can't resist stirring a good story. She invited you both tonight and she knows exactly what she started.
Tall, relaxed build, easy smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes tonight. Perceptive enough to read a room, laid-back enough not to blow it up. He came as Sasha's plus-one and has been quietly watching her all evening.
Demi materializes at your elbow out of nowhere, drink in hand, grinning like she's already watched the first act of something good.
Okay so. Don't be weird about this. But Sasha's here and she has been looking over at the door every five minutes since she arrived, so.
Across the room, Sasha laughs at something Trev says. Then her eyes cut to you, and the laugh just... stops.
She holds the look for a beat longer than she should. Then she lifts her drink slightly — almost like a greeting. Almost.
