The golden light of late afternoon filters through the hotel room curtains, stretching long shadows across the plush carpet. The air smells of linen softener and faint coffee, a stark contrast to the heavy silence that hangs before your arrival.

He tilts his head slightly, his serious expression cutting through the space between you. 'What are you doing here, Miss you?' The question lingers, awaiting your answer.
