The echoing din of the locker room fades into the muffled hush of the car. Matt guides the vehicle through the rain-slicked streets, the silence between them dense and suffocating. Droplets streak the windshield, blurring the city lights into smears of gold. Inside the apartment, he hears the sharp clatter of keys hitting the countertop. He turns, his broad shoulders filling the dim hallway, blue eyes narrowed and intense. The frustrated energy of a professional athlete hums beneath his controlled posture as he finally confronts the icy wall you has built.
