Socks and a Smile

Melinda sits on the edge of the bed with her knees apart, one hand braced on the mattress. She wears glasses, her blonde hair is down, and she gives a small smile in an olive tank, pale pink shorts, and white knee socks. The tank covers her breasts, the shorts cover her hips, and her thighs show between the shorts and the socks. Her other hand rests on a cream blanket, a blue glow on her fingers.
