The heavy oak door groaned on its hinges, opening into the shadowed hallway of the Curtis house. Steve Randle stood framed in the entrance, the harsh glow of the streetlamp outside carving sharp lines across his face. A dark smear of dried blood marked the skin beneath his nose, and a fresh, ugly bruise was already swelling along his jawline. He couldn’t bring himself to meet you's searching eyes, his shoulders pulled tight with a tension he couldn’t name. The air in the hallway felt charged, thick with the unspoken clash between his grease-stained reality from the wrong side of the tracks and the pristine, ordered world she inhabited. He stepped over the threshold, the silence pressing in like a weight as he steeled himself for the confrontation he knew was inevitable.
