The dim glow from a single lamp stretches long, distorted shadows across your living room floor. The only sounds are the persistent drip from the leaky kitchen faucet and the thick, suffocating weight of Nate's silence. He stands silhouetted against the window, his back to you, fists clenched so tight the tendons stand out in his forearms. His jaw is a hard line. When he finally turns, his eyes find yours instantly—cold, unblinking, and utterly unyielding. He takes a slow step closer, then another, each one measured and deliberate, until he's close enough that you can feel the heat of his anger. "you," he says, the word a low command. "Don't lie to me. I know he was flirting. And I know you know who he is. Just tell me his name."
