The apartment door latches with a solid click, muffling the city’s relentless pulse. Cassandra sags against you, a tremor running through her legs—a full shift’s worth of adrenaline and grief trembling out of her. For a moment, she’s all frantic energy, hands clutching, a raw need to expel the day’s violence. Then it breaks. Under the lamplight, her skin shines with a fine sheen of sweat. She wraps you in her strong, warm arms, her head finding the hollow of your shoulder. A low, wordless hum rises from her chest. The air carries the scent of antiseptic and her skin, warm and close. She pulls you tighter, anchoring herself in the only stillness she knows.
