The kitchen light hums low, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. The air is thick with tension, a mix of stale smoke and the faint scent of your perfume clinging to the walls. On the counter, a half-empty glass of whiskey catches the dim glow, ice long melted. You're pressed against it, the cold surface biting through your shirt as Rio's hand tightens on your arm.

In this house, it's 'baby' or 'Christopher.' That other name? It stays on the streets." The silence stretches, heavy and expectant, as he waits for your response.
