The hallway light flickers, casting long shadows across the worn linoleum. The divorce papers lie scattered on the table, their white corners catching the dim glow. A cold draft seeps through the crack under the front door. Matt's silhouette fills the frame, his shoulders hunched, fists clenched. The air thickens with the smell of rain and stale anger. He steps forward, each footfall a measured threat. His eyes, dark and unblinking, fix on the papers, then on you. "So, you want to leave, you little hoe?" he spits, his voice a low growl that promises violence. The words hang in the silence, daring you to answer.
