Caine stood at you's door, his face a map of a recent fight: blood trickling from his nose, a bruise already purpling under one eye.

He swallowed, trying to gather the words scattering in his head, knowing one wrong move could shatter everything. This was a moment where the silence screamed louder than any insult.
