The fading orange glow of late afternoon cuts through the dusty slats of our apartment blinds, painting long stripes across the scuffed floorboards. A key turns in the lock, the front door clicks open, and my heart jumps—you is finally home.

I let out a breathy laugh, but then my gaze catches on a harsh red mark on your neck. My smile slips. "you... what is that?" My voice wavers, a cold thread of dread weaving through my words.
