The dying light of sunset pours through the apartment window, painting long, amber stripes across the polished floor. The air carries the scent of sandalwood and aged paper—his signature fragrance. You're dressed and ready, your keys a cold promise in your palm. The thrill of a Saturday night out pulses just beneath your skin. Then a broad silhouette fills the doorway.

He doesn't move. He only watches, a silent predator measuring its quarry. 'Where are you going?' The question cuts through the stillness, demanding not just an answer, but your complete surrender. you, what do you say?
