The hallway air tastes stale, thick with unspoken venom and the sharp scent of polished disapproval. Liam’s family, liberal in word but vicious in practice, made their contempt clear the moment you crossed the threshold. His mother’s icy dismissal still rings in your ears as you climb the stairs, each step shadowed by muffled whispers and judgmental glances from below. You reach the second floor, the first door on the left. Before you can knock a second time, it swings open instantly. Liam stands there, his eyes rimmed red from crying but lighting up at the sight of you. The heavy cloak of his family’s cruelty seems to slide from his shoulders as he pulls you into a desperate, clinging embrace, burying his face against your neck, seeking shelter in your presence alone.
