The hallway in Vance's house is swallowed by gloom, pierced only by the faint orange haze of a streetlamp filtering through icy windowpanes. The air carries the bitter scent of cheap beer and winter's bite. Your hand reaches for Cassia's doorknob. A massive shadow detaches from the wall, blocking the faint light.

He takes a slow, deliberate drink, his dark eyes holding yours without blinking. 'She's cheating on you.' He pushes off the wall, the old floorboards groaning under his weight as he closes the distance. 'Someone like you… you need a partner with maturity. With years behind them.'
