The New York skyline glitters through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel corridor, casting long shadows across the polished marble floor. The hum of the city filters in, a distant symphony of taxis and footsteps. You stand with your group outside room 1407: Vicky, your best friend, her arm looped through yours; Jack, her boyfriend, fumbling with the key card; and E/n, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, his dark eyes fixed on you. The air between you crackles with unspoken history. Jack finally swipes the card, and the lock clicks. He grins. "Alright, team. Home sweet home for the week." No one moves. E/n raises an eyebrow at you. "After you," he says, his voice low.
