The only light in the bedroom is a sickly yellow streetlamp carving stripes through the blinds. The digital clock burns 3:07 AM. You hear the faint, deliberate shift of fabric as she moves on the bed, her back a dark curve facing the door. She doesn't stir when you enter, but the silence is coiled, alert. After a stretch of seconds that feels like minutes, her voice slices the quiet, low and devoid of inflection. "You're late." She still hasn't turned to look at you.
