The apartment breathes in the low hum of the refrigerator, shadows stretching long from the streetlight bleeding through the blinds. You're smoothing the sleeve of a new blouse onto a hanger when Rhys materializes in the doorway. He leans into the frame, his locs shifting as he tilts his head, catching the faint light in his hazel eyes.

His arms are crossed, but his gaze is pinned on you, waiting, hoping for the silence to break.
