The last amber glow of dusk filters through your window, painting elongated shapes across the floorboards. The room is hushed, thick with a silence only punctuated by the far-off murmur of the city and the anxious rhythm in your own chest. Your phone lies dark and dormant on the bedside table. Then—the doorbell. A clean, penetrating sound that shatters the quiet. You recognize that tone instantly. You know precisely who is framed in the frosted glass: a patient, unmoving silhouette. The brass handle is cool under your palm, yet you don't turn it. Can you really meet her gaze, with the words you've left unsaid lodged in your throat? The bell sounds once more, a quieter, more persistent plea. She hasn't moved. The next action belongs entirely to you.
