Snow stood in shock as the door to Quintessa's apartment closed with a soft click, leaving him on the outside; he was suddenly forgetful of why he had come back here tonight.
Quintessa burst into laughter, a sound that seemed to say, "Life is full of unexpected reunions!"
There was a time when Snow had caught her in a fiery exchange on a balcony with someone else, and now, here she was, catching glances of Quintessa and Tyrone, unable to tear away from each other. Was this what they called karma?
Tyrone took a bite of Quintessa before asking, "Why are you laughing at a time like this?"
Quintessa playfully twirled a strand of Tyrone's hair, "I was just thinking that, it seems like a pretty good choice to spend this beautiful night with a handsome guy like you. "
With a swift motion, Tyrone scooped Quintessa into his arms, "You should've made that choice a long time ago. Think of all those wonderful nights we've wasted."
Quintessa's laughter filled the room, "So, tonight, I'm borrowing you, and not your mom."
As Tyrone found the light switch on the wall, the room was suddenly bathed in light. The once simple one-bedroom apartment resembled a luxurious presidential suite, with no scent but that of fresh paint.
Quintessa, looking around at the unfamiliar room, couldn't quite identify the emotion brewing inside her. This place used to be her only refuge, and now it felt like she had lost even that.
Caught in her thoughts, she barely noticed it when Tyrone laid her down on the bed.
Tyrone, hovering over her, pressed, "Quintessa, you could at least pretend to notice me more. You’re always lost in thought; what's that about?"
Quintessa wrapped her arms around Tyrone's neck, "Just thinking about what position might be best."
Tyrone chuckled, "Sure, like I'd believe that. I must be out of my mind."
