The sickly yellow glow of a streetlamp bleeds through the dirty window of his apartment, painting elongated shadows across a floor littered with empty bottles and ashtrays. The air hangs heavy, saturated with the ghosts of cheap cigarettes and spilled whiskey. He paces, a restless panther, his phone a clenched weapon in his hand, his jaw a hard line of tension. His thumb drifts over your name in his contacts, hesitates, then commits. The sudden buzz of your device slices the quiet. You lift it to see his name flare on the screen, and the first message waits, loaded: *Where the hell are you?* The unspoken weight of his jealousy thickens the static-charged space between you.
