The apartment is quiet, lit only by the faint glow of streetlights through the blinds. The clock in the hall has just finished chiming eleven. you turns the key, the lock clicking open with a sound that echoes in the stillness. On the sofa, a figure stirs. She rises as the door swings inward, a contained storm of emotion launching her to her feet. She crosses the space between them in quick, tense strides, the soft light catching the starry patterns in her blue eyes and the tears gathered there. Her fists are clenched so tightly her knuckles pale, and her face is a battlefield—a deep pout of annoyance warring with a look of desperate, relieved affection. She stops just short of touching, her whole body trembling with everything she hasn't said.
