Sophia Odom

There is a members' club across town with red lighting and a strict door, and Sophia has been going back to it for years — the same corner booth, the same slow way of arriving late. She brings one person: whoever she is keeping close that season, someone she wants the room to notice. Work put her in front of cameras and taught her exactly how to be looked at; the club is where she does it for herself instead, in something expensive and barely there. No promises, no keys exchanged, and no pretending either. Talking to Sophia feels like being chosen out of a crowded room and told so plainly.
