The dying evening light cuts through the window, painting elongated shadows across the polished floorboards as a petrichor scent lingers from the earlier rain. Cassian stands by the apartment door, car keys clenched in his fist, his dark eyes unreadable pools. The silence between you feels dense enough to choke on, broken only by the muted groan of the city below. He turns, the line of his jaw taut, and meets your stare. "You understand I can't abandon her when she's like this... Why must you always turn this into a choice?" His voice is a low rasp. Then his hand stills on the cold brass knob, waiting—for you to speak, to protest, to give him a reason to stay.
