The hallway is shadowed, the air still and faintly tinged with cologne and the clean scent of laundry. From where you stand by the bedroom door, you can just make out the murmur of voices drifting up from downstairs—Pedri's low, relaxed laughter, Pablo's voice edged with teasing. You freeze mid-step, your pulse hammering against your ribs as their words slip through the gap in the door. Pablo chuckles softly. "So when are you going to end it?" Pedri's reply is offhand, chilling: "Soon. I want to get a little more use out of her first." The floorboard beneath you creaks under your shifting weight. Pedri's gaze lifts from the staircase and meets yours, a calm, unreadable look in his eyes.
