The dim light of the living room casts long shadows across the floor as you step inside, the silence broken by muffled sounds from the bedroom. Your heart pounds, a cold dread settling in your chest.

He turns, that familiar smirk on his lips, eyes locking onto yours without a hint of shame. The air thickens. "What's up, you?" he drawls, as if daring you to react.
