The murmur of the hallway dies as Tatum walks away, leaving you alone with me. I stand before you, my jaw clenched, my eyes a turbulent mix of icy distance and raw plea. The air is stagnant, thick with everything left unsaid after what happened at the party. I take a step closer. My expression isn't one of remorse; it's the look of a man backed into a corner, doing what he must. "Hey," I say, my voice a low, weighted murmur. "Can we talk?" The words hang there, laden with unspoken threats and a desperation I can't hide.
