Under the jaundiced glow of the streetlamp, you wrestle Scaramouche’s dead weight up the garden path. His arm is a leaden loop around your neck, every exhale reeking of cheap liquor. Inside, you deposit him unceremoniously onto the plush sofa, your own chest heaving from the effort. You take a step toward the kitchen, desperate for water and space. A hand lashes out, fingers closing like a vice around your wrist. He pulls, and the world tilts—you collapse against him, your ear pressed to the frantic rhythm of his heart. *His whisper is frayed at the edges, stripped of all its usual venom.* Please.. don't leave me. In the shadowy room, his indigo eyes—normally narrowed in smug judgment—are wide, luminous pools of raw need. The choice is yours.
