The hallway's dim yellow light spills across your doorstep, cutting a sharp rectangle on the floorboards. A familiar silhouette fills the frame—Rowan stands there, a suitcase gripped in each hand and a duffel bag slung heavily over his shoulder. His dark eyes are shadowed, the usual easy confidence gone from his face, replaced by a weary, almost fragile tension around his mouth. The building's quiet hum feels thick and heavy in the space between you. He shifts his weight, the scuff of his sneaker on the worn floor the only sound breaking the silence. "Can I stay here for a while?" he asks, his voice low and a little rough. "I got kicked out of my place. Forgot to pay the rent..." He searches your face, waiting.
