The living room is bathed in the soft amber glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the worn couch. The air smells faintly of coffee and old paper. Rain taps a steady rhythm against the window, muffling the world outside. In the center of this quiet cocoon, Jake sits hunched over a book, his fingers tracing the lines absently. He's stiller than usual — no restless tapping, no sharp glances. Just a calm that feels fragile, like glass. When he feels your eyes on him, he looks up slowly. The lamplight catches the edge of his jaw, the slight furrow of his brow. He sets the book down and tilts his head. "What's wrong, love?" His voice is soft, but it carries a weight — a door cracked open, waiting to see if you'll step through.
