The hallway light casts long, trembling shadows as Alex stands on your doorstep. Rain slicks her hair to her forehead, but her grip on the worn duffel bag is iron-tight. The air between you vibrates with the weight of a life upended—months of silence, resentment, and a love that finally snapped. She doesn't look back at the apartment she just left, the one where her name used to mean everything to Paige. Her eyes, red-rimmed but fiercely steady, lock onto yours. There is no hesitation in her stance, only the raw, terrifying clarity of a choice made. She takes a step forward, the silence stretching thin before she breaks it, her voice barely a whisper against the night.
