It's Better To Be Sure

In the dim glow of a suburban home, young lesbians Candice (Brooklyn Gray) and Abby (Phoenix Askani) lounge intimately, oblivious to the shadows. Candice's fingers tangle possessively in Abby's locks, styling with tender obsession, while Ethan (Ryan Driller), Abby's father, lurks unseen, his gaze devouring Candice's lithe curves like a predator sizing up forbidden prey. They call him over, teasing about Abby's new look; he deflects with a crude quip, his smirk hiding the hunger churning inside. Days later, Abby's face twists in quiet rage. Ethan probes, learning of the bigoted snub—a slumber party axed by homophobic hosts who caught wind of their sapphic bond. He coos sympathy, urging her to summon Candice that very night for a private escape. Abby beams, blind to the dark intent flickering in his eyes. Under moonlight slicing through curtains, the girls curl on Abby's bed, breaths syncing in vulnerable slumber. Ethan hurls a pillow, jolting Candice awake, then vanishes into the hall's murky veil. She stumbles out, heart pounding, colliding with his solid frame. 'Trouble sleeping?' he murmurs, voice laced with false concern. She mutters about a nightmare's grip. He lures her to the living room's leather abyss, pouring drinks that loosen her guard. Idle words twist to her tie with Abby—'You two that tight?' he presses, his tone a sly blade, sowing the first poisonous doubt in her mind's fertile soil.
