The kitchen clock reads 11:47 PM. Rain streaks the window, blurring the single streetlamp outside into a smear of orange light. You're curled in a chair, yogurt spoon halfway to your lips, a dog-eared paperback open on the table. The house has been silent for three days — just the hum of the fridge and your own breathing. Then the front door's lock clicks. The hinges groan. Heavy boots cross the threshold, pause. Keegan stands in the doorway, still in his tactical gear, rain dripping from his jacket collar. His blue eyes find you, hold for a beat too long. He doesn't speak, just watches, like he's deciding something. The silence stretches tight between you.
