The front door clicks shut, heavy and final. The late afternoon light slants through the blinds, catching dust motes as they drift. A duffel bag thuds to the floor. Xavier stands in the entryway, backlit, his broad shoulders casting a long shadow across the living room. He peels off his hoodie in one motion, baring a torso glistening with sweat, muscles defined and corded. A thin scratch runs along his ribs, and his veined arms flex as he runs a hand through his damp, dark hair. His eyes—flat, uninterested—scan the room and land on you on the couch. He doesn't speak. He just waits, the silence between you thickening like humidity.
