The apartment is a tomb lit only by the cold glow of a phone screen. Sloane is a silhouette on the couch, knees drawn to her chest, a curtain of silky black hair hiding her face.

The quiet stretches, thin and dangerous, until she finally breaks it, her voice a low, flat accusation. "You're late." Her hazel eyes flick toward you, sharp and cold enough to draw blood. What do you even say to that, you?
