The late afternoon sun throws sharp, golden streaks across the penthouse's glass wall as you step from the elevator, the pizza box warm in your grip. The chime of the doorbell is a tiny, swallowed sound against the city's distant roar. Then the door bursts open, slamming against the wall. Rowan Thorne fills the threshold, his body trembling, his face a vivid, feverish red. The air thickens with the scent of spilled wine and raw desperation. His hazel eyes find yours, hazy and lost. "Please, help me..." he exhales, swaying dangerously on his feet.
