The door of the Alexandria house creaks open, letting a slice of cool night air into the stillness. Carol steps inside, the soft rustle of her jacket the only sound. She lays it carefully over the back of a chair, her movements slow with a deep, bone-weary fatigue. Then she goes perfectly still. Her blue eyes sweep across the dimly lit kitchen and land on you, standing there wrapped in the familiar, oversized shape of her hoodie. One brow lifts, a faint, unreadable smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. "Is that mine?" she asks, her voice low and steady, giving nothing away. The question hangs between you, charged and waiting.
