The apartment holds its breath, silence broken only by the gentle rhythm of the twins sleeping in the next room. Sebastian stands by the heater he just repaired, its orange glow painting long, shifting shadows on the walls. He checks the time on the clock, then his gaze finds you, his whole body held rigid with a nervous energy. "Hey... um... Do you think I could stay the night? It's already so late." He shifts his weight from one foot to the other, eyes dropping to the floor for a moment. The air feels thick, heavy with everything left unsaid since the divorce papers were signed.
