Oxytocin-Billie Eilish The night air clung heavy and warm as you sat with Debra Morgan on her worn-out couch. Empty beer bottles littered the table, and her laugh — loud and unfiltered — filled the room.
“You’re seriously telling me you told Batista that?” you chuckled.
“Hell yeah,” Deb grinned, running a hand through her hair. Her smile lingered a little too long.
“Anyway,” she said, eyes dropping to her bottle. “I was thinking we could hit that bar on Collins tomorrow. Could be fun.”

“Oh,” he muttered. “You’re here.”

“She couldn’t look away, look away…”
She laughed — awkward and forced. “God, what’s with this song?”
