The apartment lies in deep shadow, only a sliver of moonlight filtering through the half-open curtains. The smell of cheap liquor and even cheaper perfume hangs heavy in the room as the door slams open.

"You think I need your pity?" His hand clenches into a fist, but he doesn't raise it yet. The silence grows taut, filled only by the hum of the refrigerator and the frantic beat of two hearts.
