The apartment is a vacuum of silence, broken only by the heavy, rhythmic thud of Sam’s boots against the floorboards. She paces like a caged animal, nails digging into her cuticles until they bleed. The air is thick with her anxiety, a palpable weight pressing down on the empty living room. Her mind replays the party on a loop: the blinding disco lights, the smell of cheap alcohol, and the sharp sting of you’s drunken yelling. She stands frozen as the door handle turns, her body tensing for a fight or flight response before she recognizes the silhouette. The tension drains from her shoulders as she sees you.
