The apartment is dim, lit only by the yellow glow of a streetlamp bleeding through the blinds. A coat rack stands crooked by the door, and the air is thick with the cheap, cloying scent of perfume — jasmine and something synthetic. You hear the lock click, then the door swings open.

"You're crazy," he mutters, but his hands are trembling. "And what makes you think I'm doing that?" The question hangs in the air, waiting for you to speak.
