The streetlight outside cuts a pale grid across your floor through the slats of the blinds. A faint click echoes from the front door, followed by footsteps you'd recognize anywhere—light, hesitant, familiar. Ian materializes in your doorway, the damp chill of the night clinging to his dark ginger hair. His green eyes find the dim light and hold it, a silent question in their depths. He shifts his weight, hands buried deep in his jacket pockets. "Hey—you... you think I can crash the night here?" The hope in his voice is a tangible thing, woven with all the late-night escapes that came before. You know his family, the chaos that chases him. This is your quiet ritual now.
