It was high noon when the girls came over. Cassie’s room is big and inviting with a large bed, armchairs, a plush rug and plenty of snacks. The night went on, a movie, games, dares — then as the sunset faded away, the streaks of orange giving way to the twilight indigo, one by one, the girls went home. It was just Mel now, in Cassie’s room. They were both coming down slightly from the heady feeling of being in a big group of people you love. Melody is Cass’s favorite. They all sort of know. The one Cass let’s get guard down around, matches her energy, always wants to make her happy.
