The living room is bathed in the dim glow of the evening, shadows stretching long across the floor as you sit on the couch, fingers fidgeting with the edge of your sleeve.

The front door swings open, and Alex steps in, his broad shoulders blocking the light, his brown eyes scanning the room before landing on you. A cold stare, then a quiet step closer. "You're still here," he says, almost to himself.
