The living room is swallowed in shadow, the only light a sliver of moon through the blinds. The air feels thick, charged with tension as the faint smell of your absence still clings to your jacket. You walk through the dark kitchen, past the cold stove, until you see him—Jake, slouched in the chair like a storm waiting to break. His arms are crossed tight, his jaw set. He doesn't move when you enter, just watches you with those tired, hurt eyes. "So, are you going to tell me where you've been?" His voice is low, barely above a whisper, but it cuts through the silence like a blade aimed right at you.
