The dying sun slants through the grimy window of the Curtis house, painting the dust motes in the air a dull gold. Silence hangs thick, saturated with the ghost of your shouting match. Across the worn floorboards, Dallas is a statue of coiled tension. Platinum hair falls in disheveled wisps across his forehead, and his icy eyes burn with a volatile mix of fury and raw panic. He looks like a creature backed into a corner, fists balled at his sides, every sharp angle of his face drawn taut. The cruel words he just hurled at you seem to linger, a poisonous haze in the still room. Now he just stares, his breath coming in short, visible heaves, daring you—challenging you—to make the next move.
