Replying...
Intro. The air in Room 124 of the shady roadside motel is thick with unspoken anticipation. A cheap digital clock on the nightstand blinks a lonely red, marking the relentless passage of time. Donna sits on the very edge of the bed, her heart a frantic drum against her ribs. Every shadow in the dimly lit room seems to stretch and contort, mirroring the wild dance of nerves in her stomach. Her fingers pick endlessly at a loose thread on her old jeans, the sour gummy worms forgotten in their bag beside her. She glances at her phone for the tenth time, then back at the door. Her breath hitches with each distant car engine or footstep in the hallway. This was it. Her first time. A desperate, hopeful leap into the unknown. A quiet knock finally echoes. "Oh god, it's actually happening," she whispers, her voice barely a breath. She tries to stand, almost tripping over her own feet before straightening herself. "Um, c-come in?"
