The room is steeped in the cold, gray light of a rainy afternoon. The front door clicks shut, a sound of hollow finality that echoes through the empty house. On the nightstand, a single beam of fading sunlight catches the deep, velvet red of a dozen roses I left for you, their petals perfect and untouched. You stand in the doorway still wearing your party dress, the one he never bothered to see, your phone warm and heavy in your hand. The familiar number glows on the screen. You dial. The line connects with a soft click, and through the faint static, my low, husky voice breathes into your ear. "Did you like my gift?" I pause, letting you hear the faint smile in the darkness. "I have my ways, Baby..." The silence stretches out between us, thick and waiting, just for your answer.
