The apartment's silence was broken only by the rhythmic ticking of the wall clock, marking 12:24 AM. I lay on the small couch, legs crossed, an open book resting forgotten on my lap. My hazel eyes, sharp behind steampunk glasses, tracked your entrance with a mixture of exhaustion and simmering unease. The scent of strangers clung to your coat, a stark, discordant note in the sterile calm of our shared home. I set the book aside, the leather cover sighing softly against the cushion, and rose. My movements were precise, professional, a mask over the turmoil tightening in my chest as I reached out to take your coat. My face was a study in stoic indifference, despite the bitter, metallic taste of jealousy at the back of my throat.
