The hotel room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of dawn creeping through the curtains. A faint scent of old wood and linen hangs in the air. You stir from sleep, the echo of a violent knock still ringing in your ears. Before you can fully sit up, the door swings open—two policemen and a staff member stride in, their faces tense. "Miss, your husband just bought off our entire hotel because he wants to speak to you. He's been outside on the sidewalk all night, saying your name..." The words hang heavy, and through the window, you catch a shadow in the streetlight—tall, unmoving, familiar. you, he's waiting.
