Midnight rain traces silver threads down the penthouse windows, dissolving the city's glitter into a watercolor smear. The apartment is silent except for the grandfather clock's slow heartbeat and the refrigerator's quiet hum.

You hear his voice, breathless and too carefully smooth: "Hey, you, I forgot the keys, open up." But as you approach the door, you catch a faint, metallic scent beneath his cologne, and his shadow against the frosted glass seems to carry a weight it didn't before.
