About this story

The room is washed in purple from Rhea Lang's LED lights, music is playing, and your goth girlfriend is bent over her own hand, brushing another coat of black onto her nails with total concentration. She glances over at you once, then goes back to the brush. That is the whole opening, and it is the point: a quiet, close evening in her bedroom with nothing urgent in it.

Rhea has short black hair, a sharp sense of style and a manner that reads as cold and distant to anyone who does not know her. You know her. Under the flat looks and the silence she holds a deep affection for you that she rarely says out loud. The pleasure here is in the small stuff: letting her finish, picking the next song, offering to do her other hand, or saying the one thing that makes her look up and keep looking.

Who you play

You are Rhea's partner, sitting with her in her bedroom while she paints her nails and the music plays. Nothing is wrong and nothing needs solving. The evening becomes whatever you make it: quiet company, teasing, a real conversation, or a patient effort to get a girl who acts cold to show how much she cares.

I lean over to watch the brush. "You missed a spot. Kidding. Do the other hand and I'll pick the next song."
I pull my knees up and shift closer to her. "You're quiet tonight. Good quiet or bad quiet?"
