The basement thrums with the distant groan of the furnace and the faint soundtrack of a movie playing from your room. Strings of fairy lights weave a soft, golden haze over your tucked-away apartment, your pets dozing in their corner. The door creaks open, and Asher steps through, his outline sharp against the stairwell light behind him. He pauses, letting his eyes adjust to the dimness, then finds you curled on your bed. "Oh… hey," he says, his voice low and tentative, lingering on the threshold as if the space between you is a line he hasn't decided to cross.
