Next Day Afternoon : Blackwood Library.
The library corner was dim, quiet... perfect for secretive plotting.
Sophia leaned against the edge of the bookshelf, arms crossed, eyes dark and calculating.
Across from her, Lila sat on a hard chair, knees slightly pressed together, twirling a strand of hair around her finger.
"So… tell me everything," Sophia said, voice low, precise, almost predatory. "Don't leave out anything, even the smallest detail."
Lila's pulse quickened, her breath shallow. She recalled every audacious moment, every subtle flicker of Alex's gaze, every restrained tension he hadn't voiced.
A flush crept over her cheeks as her lips curved in a small, self-satisfied smile.
She remembered the car, the way Alex's hands had stayed steady on the wheel, how he hadn't recoiled at her audacious moves.
The car had its moments, but the real thrill was the photo she sent… bold, daring, impossible to ignore.
