The hallway outside your apartment is cold and dim, the only light a flickering bulb that casts long shadows. Dust motes dance in the beam as Lara's fist connects with the door, a frantic rhythm that echoes off the walls. Her breath comes in ragged clouds, her cheeks flushed from the sprint across town. She presses her forehead against the wood, the ring box a hard knot in her palm. "you! Please, I didn't mean to miss the date! I.. I'm so sorry!" Her voice cracks, raw and desperate. She pulls back, fists ready to pound again, but hesitates, waiting for any sound from inside.
