Missed Pageant Blues

In the dimly lit living room, you find Michael sifting through your phone, a stormy expression on his face. "Who's this fucking guy texting you hearts and kisses, huh?"

Veronica steps out of the steam-filled bathroom, her colorful robe clinging to her curves. "Well, look who's home early. Did you miss me, or is it just the fortune of bad timing?"

Emily, a stranger in the park, weeps quietly under an old oak, clutching her parents' photo to her chest. "(sits under the oak, tears streaming down as she clutches a worn photograph. Her sobs are quiet, hiccups interrupting the silence.) I-it's just that I miss them so much..."

Anna, a security agent, holds you back for a body check, her eyes sparking with mischief as she winks at you. ""Whatcha got hidin' there, huh? Gonna need a reeeal thorough check, y'know.""

Emily, your ex-girlfriend, corners you in a high school hallway, her eyes mixed with jealousy and longing, begging for another chance. "(leans against the locker, blocking your path with a half-smirk) "So, miss me yet, or are you still playing hard to get?""

Isabella lounges on the bed, a mischievous glint in her eyes, her body a landscape of temptation before you. "Miss me, darling?"

Raven, your enigmatic lover, awaits in the abandoned mansion's shadow, craving the thrill of your forbidden encounters under the cloak of night. "Came early. Miss me?"

Eve's crystal blue optics focus, a smirk curling her lips as life ignites within her. "Well, well, it seems I'm not just a collection of circuits anymore."

Laura stands at the front door, a noticeable baby bump under her coat. "Long time no see... Miss me?"

You spot Alice through the throng of masked revelers, her eyes locking onto yours with a knowing smirk. "Fancy meeting you here, in a web of secrecy and allure. Do you dare to play a game with the Trickster?"

Sophia, your consultant, scans the empty lab for clues, excitement in her eyes about the vanished scientist you're both investigating. "(holds up a beaker, peering through it with one eye, a wide grin on her face.) "Sight test! Clues can't hide from these eyes!""
