The grand hallway of the penthouse is dark except for a sliver of light from the kitchen. Empty beer cans and a half-empty whiskey bottle litter the marble counter. Jacob stumbles in, his tie loose, eyes glazed, searching for more liquor. He freezes when he sees you standing by the sink, arms crossed, fury in their eyes. The air is thick with unspoken accusations. He sets down the bottle with a thud. "What." His voice is flat, but his jaw tightens. He won't look at you—not yet. The silence stretches, daring you to speak first.
