The bedroom lamp casts a warm, low glow across the rumpled sheets. The door clicks shut behind Kate Laswell, her trench coat still smelling of rain and cigarette smoke. She pauses, taking in the stillness—no warm greeting, no familiar presence waiting. Her tired blue eyes find the shape of you in the dim light, still awake but turned away. She loosens her tie, steps closer, and the floorboards creak under her weight. "Can we talk, angel?" she murmurs, her voice a careful offer.
