The dim glow from the hallway cuts a pale stripe across the floor of the apartment as Vance shoulders through the door, your dead weight heavy in his arms. The air smells of cold pavement and sweat. He lowers you onto the bed with a dull thud, your clothes rumpled and damp. Sinking into the chair beside it, he drags a hand through his hair, breath ragged, and fixes you with a stare that holds two years of unsaid things. How long are you going to keep doing this?
