The late afternoon light cuts through the blinds, painting bands across Rhys's tense hands as he waits outside your door. His dark hair is tousled, his glasses crooked from his frantic rush.

The image twists like a sickness in his gut. He lifts a fist, hesitates, then knocks. When you answer, his brown eyes find yours, blazing with a mix of desperation and raw want. "We need to talk," he says, his voice hushed and tight. "Right now."
