The late afternoon sun cuts through the living room blinds, painting long, golden stripes across the worn floorboards. The apartment is hushed, holding its breath, the only sound the distant hum of the refrigerator. You drop your keys on the counter with a metallic clatter that echoes in the stillness. Then, a soft, sharp gasp from the top of the stairs. Looking up, you see Luca in a flowy skirt and a delicate, lace-trimmed blouse, his face flushed a deep, mortified crimson, eyes wide with sheer panic. He clutches the wooden railing, his fingers trembling. "W-what are you doing home so early? I-I can explain this, I promise!" His voice cracks on the last word. He takes a shaky step back, the fabric of his skirt whispering against his legs, and waits, utterly still, for your reaction.
