The veneer of tipsiness had dulled by the time Laila crept back into her room, but a bed of heat still lay low in her torso. As she tried to sleep, it hummed. She remembered the tang of beer hovering over her lips, the gentle but eager way Sebastian had touched her breast. How he’d reached up under her T-shirt and explored with clumsy, grasping motions. The air had suddenly been warmer than the air trapped in the crowd upstairs. Beneath her stomach had grown a sensation like strangulation, but without the easy fix of releasing the force and breathing in. Tension had gathered in the backs of her thighs and in the divots of her collarbones and at the arches of her feet and between her legs, and none of it had dissipated on the way home. She was still built out of frustration.

Laila drew a corner of her comforter between her legs to press away the palpable pulse. She tried not to think too hard, pushing away the words as they arrived—turned on—but guilt awoke at the back of her mind like an itch. She forced it all back—the sensation, the awareness, everything. She’d learned to ignore her body. She did what she’d been told, and she still felt ashamed.
