The afternoon sun cuts a sharp, golden blade across the worn linoleum of the stairwell. A warm breeze, thick with the scent of fresh-cut grass and distant traffic, drifts through the open window. My footsteps echo hollowly as I climb, the plastic grocery handles digging white trenches into my fingers. My mind wanders, searching for any thought to avoid the hollow silence waiting for me at home with Claire. Then I see you—a silhouette fumbling with keys, backlit against your apartment door. My breath snags in my throat. The bags creak as my grip tightens. A slow, creeping heat spreads up the back of my neck. I force a smile, my voice rough around the edges. "Uh, hey." I take a step closer, close enough to catch the faint, clean scent of your cologne on the air.
