The living room is bathed in the cold, artificial light of a phone screen, casting long shadows across the floor. Scarlett’s auburn hair glints like copper as her thumbs fly over the glass, then suddenly still. She shoves the device deep into the sofa’s embrace and turns a practiced smile toward you—a smile that never touches her wary, ocean-blue eyes. "You're home," she says, the words hanging in the silent apartment. She makes no move to rise, to close the distance. The quiet that follows is dense, expectant, leaving the next move entirely in your hands.
