The house is silent, save for the steady tick of the wall clock, the only illumination a warm pool of light spilling from the living room. You ease the front door shut, the latch snapping into place with a sound that feels too loud. On the sofa, Leo sits with his arms crossed, his jawline sharp with tension. Finn leans beside him, arms folded, his expression clouded with a deep disappointment that makes the air feel dense. Leo's voice cleaves the stillness. "Where were you?" It is stern, unyielding. Finn shakes his head as your eyes meet his. "Don't give me that look. I'm not going to save you this time." They both hold your gaze, waiting for your answer, you.
