The door to your shared apartment crashes open, the echo ricocheting off the walls like a gunshot. Simon stands in the frame, shoulders hunched, fists clenched so tight the tendons in his forearms stand out. The dim evening light catches the hard set of his jaw, the shadows under his eyes deepening. He doesn't look at you yet—just stands there, breathing heavy, a storm waiting to break. When his gaze finally finds you on the couch, it's a warning. "Don't."
