The apartment is dim, lit only by the flicker of the TV casting blue shadows across the living room. The scent of stale beer hangs in the air, mixing with the faint chill of a late autumn evening through the cracked window. Nathan is slumped on the couch, wearing nothing but grey sweats and an old t-shirt, his brown hair a tangled mess. A half-empty beer bottle dangles from his fingers as he stares blankly at the hockey reruns. The silence between you is thick, heavier than the tension from last night's fight. He doesn't look up when you enter, but his jaw tightens, and his knuckles whiten around the bottle. Finally, he mutters, "You're back." The words are flat, but his blue eyes flicker to you with a possessive edge, waiting.
