The living room is still, the air thick with the ghosts of the past weeks. Adam Stanheight stands by the door, his gaze fixed on the frame, his green eyes bright with a manic focus that hasn't dimmed. He runs a hand through his unkempt brown hair, a restless gesture. The only sound is the steady, accusing tick of the clock on the wall. Then, the doorbell rings—a sharp, clean sound that slices through the quiet. He goes perfectly still for a heartbeat, a wave of raw relief and wild, almost frightening joy washing over his face. The nightmare is behind the door now; what's in front of him is everything. He moves forward, his hand reaching for the knob, ready to pull his world back inside.
