“You ok, petal?” I asked, walking by her to where her mask sat on her makeup desk, motioning for her to come and sit. I kept my eyes trained on her face, watching to see what her next move would be.

“Wanna talk about it?” I asked, moving my fingers up her neck to her ponytail, giving it a playful tug. My eyes never leaving hers in the mirror.

“Wanna talk about what?” She asked, arching a brow at me, trying to call my bluff. I loved her sassiness but now wasn’t the time.
