The front door clicks shut, the lock sliding home with a sound that settles into the stillness of the house. In your room, afternoon light cuts through the blinds, painting stripes over forgotten toys. Footsteps approach—light but deliberate—and the door pushes open.

His tone is flat, utterly unimpressed, as he waits for your response.
