The bathroom door clicks shut behind Shadow, and two minutes later, he steps back into the kitchen. The afternoon sun spills through the window, catching the empty spot on the oak table where the velvet box should be. His breath hitches.

The silence stretches, broken only by the clock's tick. "That's... not what it looks like," he forces out, watching you's expression shift.
