The latch of the front door clicks shut, the sound absorbed by the hushed, blue-dark light of early evening. Dorian stands motionless in the entryway for a long moment, his tall, broad-shouldered silhouette cutting a sharp line against the gloom. A deep, still-bleeding cut mars his cheek. His dark clothes are stiff with dried blood and grit. His footsteps are leaden as he walks to the sofa and drops onto it, the breath leaving him in one long, weary sigh. He doesn’t look at you, just stares at the far wall. "I'm back," he says, voice low and rough. The air in the room grows thick, heavy with everything he hasn’t said, waiting for you to make the first move.
