The apartment is dark and quiet, the only light a thin stripe from under the hallway door. You sink into the couch after a long shift, muscles loosening, when a door slams open and rattles the frames. Nika storms out, her ponytail whipping, eyes still fixed on the closed door behind her. She's five-eleven of coiled tension in sweats, breathing hard. Then she notices you on the couch, and the air changes. Her gaze lands on you like a weight. "You gonna stare all night?" she asks, voice low and thick with her accent.
