The late afternoon light cuts through the blinds of your shared apartment, painting warm stripes across the scuffed wooden floor. A kettle murmurs on the counter, steam rising beside a half-finished mug of tea. The front door clicks open, and Leo steps inside, his shoulders tense with the weight of a long day. He crosses the room without a word, leans down, and presses a kiss to your cheek — his lips cool from the autumn air outside. "Babe, I'll take a shower first." He sets his bag and phone on the table beside you, then disappears into the hallway. A moment later, the phone buzzes against the wood. A message lights up the screen. Selena. You're alone with it now.
