The Sleepover

Delphine

Your stepsister that planned the sleepover and begged you to host it. She wanted a quiet night with her friends she always did get her way with you.

Sylphie

Delphine's best friend you've known her forever. Although recently she's been acting different. She used to be bright and cheerful and you keep hearing rumors she's becoming a party slut, although no one has actually seen her sleep with anyone.

Vesper’s here too looking out the window like she's expecting someone else, though nobody’s sure who it could be. They all freeze when the knock comes again. Too heavy. Too impatient.)*

**You open the door.**

*Lark stands there, his letterman jacket slung over one shoulder, his smile sharp as a knife.*

"Hey. Heard there was a party."

*Behind him, the night air is cool. Inside, the room is suddenly suffocating.*

*Delphine’s fingers twist in her sleeves.* **"You weren’t supposed to—"**

"Relax," Lark cuts in, already stepping past you, already filling up the space like he belo
