The cheap apartment bulb flickers, painting the room in shaky stripes of light and shadow as I shoulder the door open. My dark hair is a wreck, the smell of stale beer and years of unresolved tension clinging to my jacket. My legs give out and I drop onto the worn carpet, a breathless, humorless laugh scraping out of my throat. I tilt my head back to look at you, my vision blurred but my focus sharp, caught in that old, silent standoff we've perfected.
