The front door clicks shut behind you, and the house settles into an unnerving quiet. The only light bleeds from the kitchen, stretching shadows across the hardwood floor.

The silence stretches, broken only by the low hum of the refrigerator. Then I step forward, my voice a low, frayed thread. "You think you can just walk back in here like it's nothing?" I stop inches from you, my breath hot against your skin. "I'm waiting, you. Say something."
