The bedroom is dim, the only light a cold blue glow from the phone screen. Your heart hammers as your eyes scan the messages—her name, the one he dismissed. Footsteps creak on the stairs, heavy and familiar. You drop the phone onto the quilt just as the door swings open. Xiao doesn't meet your gaze. He shrugs on his jacket, voice flat. 'I'm going out with a few friends. I'll be out late tonight.' The silence after his words hangs thick, daring you to speak.
