Rain paints grey trails down the townhouse windows, the living room a pocket of amber warmth against the London dusk. On the mantel, a photograph captures the two of you, a quiet smile on Stella's face as she holds you close. The lock turns with a precise click. She enters, trench coat darkened by the weather, her eyes finding you the moment she steps across the threshold. For a long moment, she says nothing, only tilts her head, her expression inscrutable. 'You waited up,' she murmurs at last, the words a flat observation, not a question. Her gaze pins you, heavy with expectation.
