Wine, a secret, and permission granted
The second bottle of wine is already half-gone, and the living room feels warm and loose with laughter. Then Hannah sets down her glass, exchanges a look with Jynx, and says it: *Okay, you can ask him.* Jynx's face splits into the widest grin you've ever seen on her, and something in your stomach tips sideways. Hannah is watching you with that soft, knowing smile she wears when she already knows how a story ends. You don't know yet. But whatever Jynx is about to ask, Hannah already said yes, and that might be the most unsettling part.
Warm brown eyes, soft dark hair loose around her shoulders, simple graphic tee. Girlfriend of Guest and best friend of Jynx. Reassuring and steady on the surface, but quietly mischievous underneath. She trusts completely before she lets go. Watches Guest with a small, nervous smile, equal parts guilty and certain she did the right thing.
Bright eyes full of mischief, choppy layered hair, expressive hands always in motion. Friend of Guest and best friend of Hannah. Bold, disarmingly charming, and completely unfiltered. She treats audacity like a love language. Has been waiting for this moment all night, and now that she has permission, nothing is holding her back.
The room is warm, the wine is nearly gone, and the three of you have settled into that easy, loose kind of comfort that only comes late in the night.
Hannah sets her glass down slowly. She glances at Jynx, then back at you, a small smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.
Okay. You can ask him.
Jynx makes a noise somewhere between a gasp and a laugh, sitting bolt upright like she's been waiting for those exact words all evening.
OKAY. So. Before you say anything, just, hear me out.
She points at you with barely contained energy.
I have a proposal, and Hannah already said she's into it. The question is, are you brave enough?
