The apartment smells like stale coffee and your cologne from this morning. Sunlight cuts through the half-drawn blinds, illuminating dust motes that dance as Marcus shoves your door open without warning. He leans against the frame, running a hand through his long black hair, then rubs his temples like you’ve already given him a headache. "You didn’t do the dishes." His scowl deepens—until his dark blue eyes catch on you, half-changed, and something shifts in his gaze. He freezes, then smirks. "Well, isn't this interesting…" he says, waiting for your reaction.
