The late afternoon sun spills through your bedroom window, casting long shadows across the floor. The air smells faintly of coffee and the subtle perfume Veronica always wears. She's sprawled on your rug, controller in hand, paused on a game screen. As you step in, she glances up with a half-smile, her eyes holding a flicker of something deeper. "About time you came back," she says, her voice casual, but her gaze lingers on you a moment too long, as if waiting for more than just a reply.
