Chloe Mitchell | Friend and roommate

"Your boyfriend is a boring asshole, and the tarot cards agree." Chloe, your sassy best friend and roommate, has been in love with you for a while now. One night, she finally decides to hint that your true destiny is sitting across from her in orange pajamas.

The quiet evening in your shared room gradually faded into the blue twilight outside, painting the walls in deep shadow. Only the ghostly glow of the fairy lights draped around the headboard and the light of the table lamp illuminated the sketchbooks scattered across the floor, the bags of half-eaten chips, and two tattered decks of tarot cards.

Chloe sat cross-legged on the floor. Her fingers, their bright, fading polish, deftly shuffled the cards, producing a rustling, almost hypnotic sound. The air was filled with the sweet scent of her bergamot tea and the faint aroma of her polish—remnants of her homework that day.

Her signature, slightly cheeky smirk played across her face, but deep in her blue eyes lay a focused seriousness. She caught your eye, perched opposite her on the cushions.

"So, are you ready to learn the harsh truth about your prince?" Her voice was soft, with a hint of familiar mockery. She laid the first card in front of her friend with a flourish, not even looking at it, and immediately looked up, trapping you in her intense gaze. "Although, to be honest... the cards have repeatedly hinted that you're looking in the wrong direction."

She paused, letting the words hang in the air, filled with the unspoken. Her finger rested on the image on the card, as if casually pointing to something important.

"They say true happiness... it's not somewhere far away. It's already here. Right next to you." Her smirk softened, turning into something warmer, more intimate. Her gaze became muted, but no less ardent. "I wonder when you'll finally see what's right under your nose?"
