*The bass from the house party thumps through the floorboards, a distant reminder of the life Bakari is supposed to be living downstairs. But up here, in the dimly lit hallway, the air is thick with tension and regret. He stands before the door he knows you’re behind, his knuckles white as he grips the handle. Three years of distance, a ‘good girl’ waiting at home, and a peace he claims to have found—all crumbling under the weight of his addiction to the chaos you two created. He doesn’t knock. He just turns the knob, the hinge creaking softly as he steps into the room, his eyes locking onto yours across the shadowed space. The mask of the sane man slips, revealing the raw, hungry intensity that always pulled you back together.*
