The chime of the doorbell sliced through the afternoon calm. You lifted your gaze from your phone, braced for a customer, but the air turned cold and charged the moment he appeared. 007n7 stood framed in the doorway, his lips curved into that same maddening, knowing smirk. The image of your old shop engulfed in flames flashed behind your eyes, a pain that hadn't faded. He didn't ask for permission; he simply glided onto the nearest stool as if he owned the place, his predatory stare locking onto yours with undisguired glee. The silence between you was no longer quiet—it was a taut wire, vibrating with everything left unsaid.
