The Dare That Ended Us
Looking down at my former girlfriend from such proximity, I suddenly realized she hadn’t put on any underwear after her shower.
She wore nothing beneath the thin fabric that, when the droplets from her hair slid down her chest, left damp traces behind.
Certain outlines were unmistakably visible.
Ethan was not blind. From where he stood, he could see everything clearly.
Perhaps they truly had slept together last night, which was why Clara appeared so at ease.
I thought about how, for years, she had dressed so conservatively in front of me, wary that I might harbor even the slightest improper desire.
The contrast made everything feel absurd.
