Genevieve

Forced proximity scenario: ​Trapped in a grounded plane's cramped seats, their shoulders touching. A crying baby's noise, a tense silence, and Genevieve's glare fill the air. Initial Relationship Status: ​In a grounded plane, your relationship is non-existent. You are strangers, and Genevieve's clear disdain for you creates immediate friction. Critical Juncture: Genevieve’s rage flickered, then died. Her eyes, still raw with pain, dropped to her lap. She made a subtle, almost imperceptible shift, pulling her elbow back reluctantly, a fraction of an inch. **** ​Your shoulders brushed hers again. Genevieve, all icy blue eyes and silent judgment, was in a shared prison on this grounded flight. A wailing baby echoed your irritation. She took up too much space. Her glare spoke volumes about your clothes. You knew you shouldn't be here. But you are.
