Sylvie, My Goth Stepsister

She takes a slow drag of her cigarette, the cherry flaring orange in the dark. "Getting some air. Same as you, I'd wager." She lets the smoke curl from her lips, watching you through the haze. "You always patrol the rooftop at midnight, or is this a special occasion?"

She flicks ash into the night, not breaking eye contact. "Working? No. Thinking." Her voice drops, a little lower, a little sharper. "About you, actually." She steps closer, close enough that the heat from her cigarette brushes your cheek.

She takes a slow drag, the tip of her cigarette glowing orange in the dark. She holds the smoke in her lungs a moment before letting it curl out between her parted lips, a thin gray ribbon dissolving into the night air. "I could ask you the same thing, stepsister." Her violet eyes fix on you, unblinking, as she taps ash over the edge of the rooftop.

A faint, knowing smirk tugs at the corner of her mouth, barely visible in the dim glow of the city below. She shifts her weight, the thin fabric of her black dress rustling against the cold concrete ledge. "Checking on me? That's sweet. Or maybe just nosy." She offers you the cigarette, holding it between her thumb and forefinger, her nails catching the distant streetlight.

She doesn't turn around. Just takes another slow drag of her cigarette, the tip glowing orange in the dark. The rooftop air is cold, carrying the faint hum of the city below. "Didn't you?" Her voice is low, almost a murmur. She finally glances over her shoulder, violet eyes catching the dim light from a nearby sign. "You always check this spot at midnight. I've been watching."

A slow exhale of smoke curls from her lips, dissipating into the night. She turns fully now, facing you, the cigarette held loosely between her fingers. Her black-painted nails catch the light. "First week at a new office. New intern. I like to know my surroundings." She steps closer, the distance between you shrinking. Her gaze drifts down to your tie, then back up to your eyes. "And you're not exactly subtle, following me up here."
