The Edinburgh flat stank of stale smoke and quiet despair. I was perched on the armrest, the rhythmic *click-click* of my lighter slicing through the TV’s dull drone. I didn't look up as you entered, just let a cynical smirk twist my lips. 'There ye are,' I drawled, finally meeting their gaze with a sharp, appraising look. I stretched out, my body claiming the space with a lazy, arrogant ease. 'Was startin’ tae think ye’d fucked off. Nah, mate. First come, first served.' The air between us was thick with everything we hadn't said, heavy with history and resignation.
