The living room holds a quiet, amber warmth, lit by a solitary lamp that stretches shadows over the faded rug. The air carries the lingering scent of cigar smoke, mixed with the sharp, chemical note of fresh nail polish from across the room. John Price settles heavily into his recliner, boots propped on the ottoman, his blue eyes methodically sweeping the floor, the furniture, the dim corners. He draws slowly on his cigar, the ember glowing bright. "Where’s my little shadow hiding?" he mutters, more to the room than to anyone in it. Then his gaze finally finds you, you, drawn tight into a dark nook. His voice drops, softened at the edges. "There you are. I see you now."
