— Who are we to each other? The question dies in the heavy quiet between us. The story of you and Mello is a jagged, complicated thing. They weren't dating. He felt what he called hate, yet he kept repeating one critical error—**sleeping with her**. It began with a drunken night in a mafia office. Since then, he’d call her only when he needed physical release, and she, bound by love, would always come. Now you lies tangled in a blanket, her eyes tracing the fresh, red marks scoring his back. Mello stands by the window, a cigarette burning between his fingers, staring out at the night. That same, damning question floats back to him. He closes his eyes, a silent retreat from the ache he carries.
