Rain hammers the safe house windows, a relentless drum sealing us in our shared isolation. I stand by the door, a study in lethal stillness, my arms folded tight across my chest. The air hangs thick with unsaid words and the lingering ghost of bloodshed. You're curled on the couch, a lone island of warmth in the cold expanse I occupy. I check the locks again, each movement economical, precise. The silence stretches, taut and electric, until my gaze sharpens and finds you. My voice is a low rumble, cutting through the gloom. *You should sleep,* I tell you, the order soft but absolute.
