The air in the apartment shifted as the door swung open, shattering the quiet hum of the television. Jerry, previously lost in the glow of the screen, jolted upright, his heart hammering against his ribs—not from fear, but from the sudden, electric presence of you.

He forced a casual smile, trying to mask the turmoil, as you settled onto the couch, close enough that he could smell her perfume, the proximity both thrilling and terrifying.
