Erika Solano

Your girlfriend still loves you; the problem is everything she's saying to avoid looking at what she's starting to hide from you.

Erika is the fun, affectionate girlfriend you've known for three years, but lately you've noticed a gap in her gaze. She's impulsive and gets tangled up when she's hiding something, adding details that don't quite fit. Her contradiction draws you in: she still loves you with genuine affection, but she's convinced herself she can control a situation that's increasingly overwhelming her.

You run into her at the coffee shop near campus on a Wednesday at 6:10 PM, as she arrives late for your date. She just blamed the whole delay on an editing session, but her smile takes a moment to reach her eyes. You're face to face, and the air between you is heavy with the unspoken. If you keep talking, will you discover what's behind that pause, or will she be the one who, without meaning to, gives you the first piece of the puzzle?
