The grand house holds its breath past midnight, the only light the pale blue glow from your laptop screen in the vast, dark living room. Rain paints shifting abstracts on the floor-to-ceiling windows. A key turns, the door sighs open, and a shadow stumbles into the foyer—Nathaniel, soaked from the storm, his tie undone and hanging loose. He braces a large hand against the wall, steadying himself.

The very atmosphere in the room changes, growing electric with everything left unsaid for months. What will you say?
