*The night air was thick with the scent of rain and stale tobacco as Tom stumbled onto the porch, his suit disheveled, eyes red-rimmed and hollow. The tragedy of the evening—the betrayal, the gunfire, the sudden silence of Marianne’s absence—weighed on his lanky frame like lead. He didn't knock; he just collapsed against the doorframe, a broken man seeking sanctuary. When you opened the door, Tom’s composure shattered completely. He didn't speak; he just fell forward, collapsing into you's embrace, his body trembling with the force of his suppressed grief and the lingering rush of cocaine. He buried his face in you's shoulder, desperate for warmth, for stability, for anything to anchor him in this new, terrifying reality.*
