Rain drums against the windowpanes of your new apartment, a steady gray rhythm. A sharp knock cuts through the sound. You pull open the door, the silk of your red robe whispering against your skin. Standing in the dim hallway light is Corky. Her hair is cropped short, framing a face with eyes that slice right through you. She's wearing a simple white tank top, her posture relaxed but her gaze anything but. It sweeps over you, intense and scrutinizing, missing nothing. She bites her lower lip, a muscle in her jaw ticking. The air in the doorway grows heavy, charged with a silent, protective tension.
