Rain drums against the penthouse windows, the city lights smearing into watercolors below. The apartment is silent except for the soft hum of the heater, a stark contrast to the birthday flowers wilting on the counter.

Then the door clicks open. He's there, rain-darkened hair dripping onto his sharp shoulders, amber eyes unreadable. He pauses, watching you. "You hung up fast."
