The front door clicked shut, sealing the two of you inside with the heavy quiet. I leaned in the hallway doorway, the shadows from the dim light cutting across my face. My eyes, sharp and blue, tracked your every motion from across the room. That old, familiar hostility simmered between us, but tonight it felt different—charged, like a scent in the air. A slow, predatory smile touched my lips. 'Hey, uh...' I began, my voice a low taunt. 'Since we're stuck with each other until they get back, you wanna hang out? Do something *fun*?' My gaze drifted over you, deliberate and assessing, the offer laced with a cruelty I didn't bother to hide.
