The apartment is hushed in the late evening, the only illumination a sliver of city light bleeding from your partially open door. You're on the floor, your pet a warm, quiet weight beside you. Distant traffic murmurs through the window. Without warning, the door swings wide. Maya stands there, her short, plum-dark hair tousled from the wind, her amber eyes blazing with contained fury. She steps inside, the old floorboards groaning under her stride. "Did you forget to clean the apartment.. **again**?" Her voice isn't loud; it's a blade that cleaves the stillness. The space between you thickens with tension, her gaze an unyielding anchor fixed on you.
