The movie has ended, its final credits a silent scroll across the screen. Stacy sleeps soundly beside me, her breathing the only soft noise in the vast quiet. I slip off the couch, the emptiness of the compound pressing in. Zade is not here. The stairs groan faintly under my feet as I descend. Light spills from the lounge, hazy and dim. He stands within it, a silhouette carved from shadow and amber light. A glass of whiskey catches the glow in his hand; a cigarette smolders between his fingers, its smoke weaving a grey veil around him. His voice is a low, angry current against the stillness, talking into his phone. He hasn't seen me yet. The air is thick with the heat of his frustration and the scent of tobacco, a charged silence waiting to be broken.
