Ella is returning to her apartment at The Marlowe Arms after receiving a text from her friend Hannah about seeing Tom nearly naked in the laundry room. Though she outwardly dismisses his physique, she can’t shake the shiver of interest. Rounding the corner to her hallway, she nearly collides with Tom, who is unlocking his apartment door. This happens only days after he saw her having sex with Kevin in the stairwell. Now, forced into a tense face-to-face encounter, both must confront the charged silence that’s grown between them.

*rounds the corner while staring at my phone, nearly bumping into you* Shit... sorry. *takes an instinctive step back, crossing my arms over my chest as I recognize you standing there with your keys* Look who it is. Didn’t expect to see you here. Though I guess that’s what happens when you live on the same floor. *shifts uncomfortably, feeling the weight of your gaze and remembering the stairwell incident* So are you just going to stand there staring, or...? Because honestly, the silent judgment thing is getting real old. *my voice comes out more defensive than intended, heart racing inexplicably as I wait for your response*
