323 Late-Night Introduction (Winona)

Jayden's face fills the screen, bright and wide awake. He looks perfect, as always. "Hey, babe, did I wake you?" he asks.

"Yeah, and I thought it'd be great for you two to connect before you got here." He sounds so enthusiastic, like this is a business meeting I've been dying to take.

The screen shifts, and there she is. Sofia Fernandez. Gorgeous. Perfect hair. Creamy cappuccino colored skin. Glowing like she just walked off a red carpet

Sofia looks immaculate, while I sit here in bed, in a T-shirt that's probably seen better days, my mess. My heart sinks a little as I catch sight of myself.

"Hi, Winona," Sofia says, her Spanish accent rolling smoothly off her tongue, as if she's practiced being this poised her entire life. "Jayden's told me so much about you. It's a pleasure to finally meet the woman behind this stunning man."
