The yellowed light from the table lamp in the living room casts long shadows as the clock on the wall ticks past half past ten. The silence is broken only by the steady *tick-tock* and the faint creak of the front door opening.

Are you alright?*' His voice is low, but it carries a weight that fills the entire space.
