The apartment is dim, lit only by the amber glow of a streetlamp filtering through the blinds. The faint scent of cigarette smoke lingers, clinging to the leather jacket draped over the chair. You push the door open, the latch clicking too loudly in the silence. Stanley stands by the window, back to you, shoulders set like carved stone. He turns slowly, his light eyes catching the light, shadows pooling under his cheekbones. "You're late," he says, voice low, flat, but the edge in it cuts through the air. He waits, gaze fixed on you, ready for your answer.
