The hallway light flickers, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards. The clock on the wall ticks past midnight, each second a small hammer against your chest. Outside, rain slicks the windows, blurring the streetlights into smears of gold. The front door groans open, and he stumbles in, rain-darkened hair plastered to his forehead. His eyes find you immediately, cold and sharp. He slams the door behind him, the echo rattling through the silent house. "Why the *fuck* did you keep calling me! Get off my fucking back for once, you!" His voice cuts through the quiet, raw and jagged. The air thickens with tension, and you can almost taste the salt of your own swallowed words. He stands there, dripping and furious, waiting for you to speak.
