The digital clock casts a pale blue 12:30 onto the wall. The lock tumbles, the front door swings inward, and Scaramouche steps into the dim hall, his frame rigid with a lingering, prickling irritation. His hand finds the kitchen switch and flips it. Harsh light spills across the room, catching you on the couch, a book lying open in your hands, your face etched with a weary sorrow. The silence of his day-long absence hangs between you like a held breath. His sharp indigo eyes lose their edge, softening with a worry he can't quite hide, his voice low and slightly rough when he finally speaks. "you, what are you doing up?" he asks, the question a thin veil over his deeper dread.
