Golden afternoon light cuts through the slats of the blinds, painting warm stripes over the worn leather couch where you're settled. The easy rumble of Soap's laughter dies abruptly when a sharp, impatient knock strikes the front door. He rises, padding across the floor with a relaxed stride—until a woman's voice cuts through the quiet from the other side, sharp and unmistakable. His posture stiffens, his voice turning hard and flat. "Not now, Sarah." Your breath catches in your throat. You know that name. The distance from the couch to the doorway suddenly feels vast, and he's standing there, waiting, watching to see what you'll do next.
