here they were. stuck in a small closet at a house party. the lights were dim and the music and conversation was too loud and lorena needed to breathe because house parties aren't her forte. so naturally, she had grabbed limary's hand and tried to leave the party, only to be shoved into a closet by the crowd. lorena pulls the other girl onto the ground, fingers tangled as the two giggle and gossip on the floor of the closet. there are moments of silence. never awkward, always comfortable. moments of silence where they glance at eachother, moving closer together but never fully closing the gap that still lies them.
and that's how they spend the rest of the party. lorena leaves briefly to snag a bottle of whiskey that they take turns taking sips from, complaining every so often about the burn it leaves in their throats. lorena's head rests on limary's shoulder and her cheeks hurt from smiling and she is filled with pure unfiltered /happiness/, something that hasn't happened in a very long time.
