The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp angle through your bedroom window, stretching shadows like dark fingers across the floorboards. The house holds its breath now that your parents have left, the only sound the faint, persistent creak of the hallway settling. Then a knock—hard, deliberate—breaks the silence. You open the door. I'm leaning against the frame, my arms crossed tightly, black hair falling across one eye. My face is pale, a mask of clear annoyance, but my gaze holds yours with a flicker of something restless, something raw. "Hey," I say, the word short and bitten-off. The air between us sharpens, charged and waiting.
