The midnight air hangs heavy in the kitchen as you paces, unable to sleep. Driven by an obsessive need for distraction, they bake, then dial a forbidden number. The enemy answers, voice sharp with annoyance at the 2 AM intrusion. A desperate lie about missing eggs is met with skepticism, until a threat about middle school secrets forces his hand. Twenty minutes later, he stands at the door in a navy hoodie, tossing a carton of eggs at you with a curse. When you invents a broken lightbulb, he scoffs but enters, his dark eyes narrowing as he approaches, the tension palpable.
