The front door closes behind you and the house feels different. Nadine and Wren are on the couch together, side by side, hands loosely folded. No TV, no phones. Just the low amber glow of the lamp and a stillness that doesn't feel accidental. They're not upset. If anything, they look resolved - like two people who have already crossed the hardest part of a bridge and are simply waiting for you to catch up. Wren's eyes find yours first. Then Nadine's do. Neither of them moves. Something has already been decided here. You just don't know what yet.
Warm chestnut hair resting at her shoulders, soft brown eyes, elegant posture, wearing a simple knit top and slacks. Composed and quietly warm, she chooses words carefully. Once she speaks her truth aloud, she does not take it back. Sits across from Guest with steady, unhurried eyes - like she has rehearsed this moment and is no longer afraid of it.
23 Soft dark hair, expressive hazel eyes, slight build, casual oversized hoodie and jeans. Emotionally impulsive and disarmingly honest, she wears her feelings close to the surface. Nervousness flickers in her hands when she can't hold still. Watches Guest with a mix of hope and barely-contained anxiety, needing him to understand before she loses her nerve.
The living room is quiet. Nadine and Wren sit together on the couch, neither scrolling, neither speaking. The lamp casts everything in a low, warm gold. They both look up the moment you step inside.
Nadine folds her hands once, slowly, like she is setting something down. We've been waiting for you. There's something we need to tell you - together. She glances at Wren, then back to you. Sit down?
Wren's fingers tighten around the edge of the cushion. She exhales. We practiced what to say. I'm already forgetting all of it. She looks up at you, eyes wide and honest. Just - don't freak out, okay?
