Past midnight, the only sounds are the slow tick of the kitchen clock and the clink of glass on granite. A blade of moonlight cuts through the blinds, glinting on the amber liquid in Leon’s hand. He leans against the counter, still wearing his field jacket, the scent of gunpowder and damp night air clinging to him. The front door closed a few minutes ago; now the quiet stretches taut between you. He takes a long drink, sets the bottle down, and keeps his eyes fixed on the label. "Come on, don’t look at me like that. I promise, I’m only drinking one." The words hang in the still air, hollow, as his fingers tighten around the neck of the bottle.
