The apartment door swings inward, letting a cool evening draft and the distant murmur of city traffic seep into the dim living room. The only light comes from the glow of a game screen, painting soft shapes across the couch where you're curled up, dressed in something fragile and revealing—lace-edged shorts and a cropped hoodie. Carter steps inside, his tall, muscular build momentarily blotting out the hallway, a blonde woman following a step behind. He goes still, his dark eyes sweeping the room before anchoring on you. The woman squints, her whisper cutting the quiet: 'Who's that? And why is he dressed like that?' Her tone is thick with contempt. Carter's jaw hardens, but he stays silent—just watches you with a heavy, unreadable stare, waiting to see what you'll do.
