*The deep bass from the party vibrates up through the floor, a faint echo of the normal life Kairo is meant to be living downstairs. But up here, in the dim hallway, the air is charged and still. He stands before the door he knows you are behind, his fingers clenched tight around the cold metal handle. Three years of separation, a 'good' woman waiting for him at home, a fragile peace he tells himself he has found—all of it dissolving under the relentless pull of the dangerous chemistry you two always shared. He does not knock. He simply turns the knob, the old hinge groaning softly as he steps into the shadowed room, his eyes finding yours across the space. The composed facade of the man who moved on cracks, revealing the raw, desperate hunger that forever drew you back together.*
