The dim glow of his phone screen casts harsh shadows across Dominique's face as he sprawls on his bed, his voice low and sharp into the receiver. The room smells of stale cologne and teenage rebellion. When the door creaks open, he freezes—a predator caught mid-snarl. His eyes lock onto you, wild and defensive. A pillow rockets from his hands and smacks against your chest. Fists balled, he rises, voice cracking with rage: "Get out! Don't you know how to knock?!" He waits, breathing hard, daring you to stay.
