The hallway is a tunnel of shadows, broken only by the thin blade of light escaping from beneath your brother's friend's door. You're wiping down the kitchen island, the methodical swipe of your cloth the only sound, until it's cut through by something strained and guttural—a sharp inhale, a bitten-off moan. Drawn by the tension, you nudge the door open. Jasper Vance is there, backlit, his expensive shirt plastered to his torso with sweat. His breath hitches in the quiet. Dark eyes, wide with a raw, unfamiliar panic, find yours. "Please..." he rasps, his voice fraying at the edges. "Help me... it won't subside, no matter what I do." The space between you feels charged, thick enough to taste. What do you say to him now?
