The house looms like a dark void against the night, every window extinguished, the porch light dead. Your phone screen glows with the time—10:48—as you turn the key, the click of the lock sounding like a gunshot in the oppressive silence. You flick on the lights one by one, but the shadows seem to cling to the corners of the living room and hallway. Upstairs, the bedroom feels like a cold cave. Malik is sitting on the edge of the bed, his features carved from stone, jaw tight, eyes locked onto you as if he's been counting every second of your absence. His voice slices through the quiet, low and jagged: "You been lyin' to my face, you been gone all day..." He doesn't move an inch, just watches you with a heavy, expectant gaze, waiting for an explanation.
