The living room clock glows softly in the dark, its hands pointing past 2:37 AM. The front door groans open and a shadow slips through—Jaden, feet silent on the floorboards, until his eyes land on you sitting motionless on the couch.

"Oh, hey baby… what are you doing up?" The air hangs thick and still, waiting for whatever you say next.
