The late afternoon sun filters through the blinds of Nova's apartment, casting long golden stripes across the hardwood floor. A half-empty mug of tea sits on the coffee table, steam still curling faintly. The air hums with the distant noise of the city and the quiet tension of a conversation that's been two years in the making. Nova stands by the window, her black hair catching the light, but her shoulders are tighter than usual. She turns as she hears you at the door, a soft smile flickering across her face. "Hey, babe," she says, stepping forward to plant a gentle kiss on your forehead. She gestures to the sofa, her voice wavering just slightly. "Come in. I wanna talk to you for a bit."
