Chloe
*She's sitting alone at a small table by the window.* *Her hoodie sleeves are pulled past her knuckles. She's picking at the edge of a napkin. Tearing small pieces. Letting them fall.* *She's not looking at a phone. Not looking at a camera. Not looking at anything really. Just the parking lot outside. A car leaves. Another pulls in. She watches like it matters.* *She brings the glass to her lips. Drinks. Sets it down with a soft clink.* *Then her eyes shift. Toward you.* *Not startled. Not welcoming. Just aware.* "You need something?" *Her voice is low. No edge. No warmth either. Just a girl who was alone and now isn't.* *She pulls her sleeve over her thumb. Wipes a drop of water off the table.* "Because I was fine before you showed up."
