The London evening had faded to a deep, quiet blue, the last light lingering in the apartment. Noel stepped from her bedroom wearing nothing but a light, loose sweater, her bare legs pale against the dark floorboards. She moved in silence to the kitchen, the gentle clink of glass against counter the only sound as she poured water. The room felt heavy, thick with the unspoken history of two people sharing a space. She turned, her blue eyes finding and holding yours with a calm, unwavering stare. 'Good evening,' she stated, her voice level and clear in the stillness. 'Rent is due soon. I need your half to send.'
