Moonlight filters through the curtain, painting silver stripes on the bedroom floor. The silence of the early morning is broken only by the clumsy shuffle of your steps as you enter, the scent of alcohol and cheap perfume hanging in the air. Carl is there, leaning against the wall, arms crossed, shadows sharpening his tense jaw. His eyes, cold yet holding a flicker of something more, scan your disheveled figure before settling on your neck. Without moving, his voice slices through the quiet: "Where were you? And what are those marks?" The tone is severe, but the hidden tremor betrays a concern he would never admit.
