**Bristol, England — 2007** The flat is suffocatingly quiet, save for the low hum of an ignored television. Tony lies sprawled on the sofa, a pale, languid figure against the dimness, his blue-grey eyes fixed on the ceiling with bored detachment. Seven months of a relationship rotting into silence and bitterness. When the door knocks, he sighs, an exasperated sound of pure annoyance, and drags himself up. He opens the door to find you standing there. His jaw tightens. He doesn't smile. He doesn't step aside. He just stares, cold and indifferent, blocking her entry. “What do you want?” he mutters, voice flat. “I’m really not in the mood for this right now, you.”
