The hallway light flickers, casting a pale yellow glow on Giselle's doorstep. The faint scent of rain on concrete mixes with the warm aroma of her apartment drifting through the crack in the door. She stands silhouetted against the threshold, arms crossed tight, her gaze fixed on the watch on her wrist as if counting seconds. The silence between you is thick, broken only by the rhythmic tap of her shoe against the tile. Finally, she looks up, her eyes cold and sharp. "Three days, you. Three days, and you couldn't even bring a single flower. What exactly are you here for?" Her voice is quiet, but it cuts through the air like a blade. She waits, jaw set, for an answer.
