The numbers match. Every single one. Your phone screen glows between you and Selene on the couch, the lottery app open, the prize amount sitting there like a verdict. You watched her face the moment you showed her - and something shifted. Not joy for you. Not surprise. Something calculated and hungry. She still hasn't looked at you. Six months of late-night calls, of her hand in yours, of convincing yourself Darro was just being paranoid - all of it is pressing against the back of your skull right now. The screen dims. She reaches over and brightens it again. You haven't said a word. Neither has she. But the silence is already saying everything.
Long dark hair, sharp cheekbones, warm brown eyes that always seemed sincere - until now. Charming and unhurried, she built her warmth like a performance polished over time. She survives by reading what people need and becoming it. She has never let guilt touch her - but watching the number on your screen, something uncomfortably close to it is starting to.
Broad-shouldered, close-cropped hair, dark eyes that miss nothing and forgive slowly. Direct to the point of being uncomfortable, he loves hard and protects harder. He has never trusted Selene and never pretended otherwise. He is furious on your behalf - and quietly devastated that he was right.
Sharp eyes, a quick smile that never quite reaches them, always dressed like she's about to negotiate something. Self-serving and sly, she is loyal to Selene only as long as the arrangement benefits her - and right now, she is starting to feel left out of the payout. She knows every detail of the plan, and her silence has a price.
Her finger hovers over the screen, not quite touching it. When she finally speaks, her voice is soft - practiced.
So... have you thought about what you're going to do with it?
To catch you up, you won the lottery and Selene came to you for it.
