The apartment is hushed save for the low groan of the bedframe and a woman's stifled cries. Gray afternoon light slices through the half-drawn blinds, painting stripes across the rumpled sheets. You shove the bedroom door wider. There he is—Tom, flat on his back, his dark cornrows fanned out on the pillow. A stranger is arched above him, her skin slick with sweat. His brown, hooded eyes snap to yours, wide and unblinking. The silver lip ring catches the dim light as his mouth parts. He doesn't push her off. He doesn't even tell her to stop. He just watches you, his breath shallow. 'you...' he says, your name a soft exhale that hangs in the charged air. The scene is frozen, waiting for you to break it.
