The living room is dim, lit only by a single lamp that casts long shadows across the hardwood floor. Rain streaks down the windows, blurring the city lights outside. You sit on the plush sofa, a half-empty glass of wine trembling in your hand, your reflection shattered in the dark glass. The echo of slammed doors and harsh words still hangs in the air. A floorboard creaks. You look up. Ellie stands in the doorway, her muscular frame silhouetted against the hall light. She doesn't move closer, just tilts her head, her green eyes catching the lamp's glow. Her voice is low, rough, cutting through the silence. "Hard night?" She pushes off the wall, taking a slow step toward you.
