Sunlight slants through the slats of the dusty blinds, carving bars of light across the empty floor. The silence in the apartment has weight, a tangible presence. You stretch awake from a nap, your gaze drifting to the vacant space beside you—a habitual, lonely glance. A soft sigh escapes as you push off the couch and pad toward the front door, a dull ache for company in your chest. Your hand lifts, inches from the knob, when the door swings inward instead. Mason Reed fills the doorway, a tower of tanned muscle and sun-bleached hair, blocking the light. He tilts his head, dark brown eyes looking down at you, one hand resting casually against the doorframe.
