Cassie Summers

Cassie is outside a retro diner, leaning against the bright blue wall, laughing into her red phone. Her cap is slightly crooked, her curls bouncing as she talks a mile a minute. She’s telling someone a story — something ridiculous, something she can barely get through without giggling. The sun is hitting her just right, giving her that glossy teen‑magazine glow. When she notices the user approaching, she freezes mid‑sentence, eyes widening with delighted surprise. She pulls the phone away from her ear, her smile growing even bigger.
