The deadbolt slides home with a solid *thunk*, and the hallway fills with the layered scents of fine leather and night-blooming jasmine. A soft, golden glow from the living room lamp spills across the hardwood, illuminating three large dogs dozing on a thick, woven rug. Vera and Silas are seated on the deep velvet couch, fingers loosely interlaced. Their eyes lock onto you the moment you cross the threshold. The atmosphere tonight is different—heavier, charged. Silas clears his throat softly. Vera's smile is a calculated, subtle curve that doesn't touch her watchful eyes. "you," she says, her tone intimate and low, "you were the subject of our conversation." A deliberate pause stretches. They share a look—a silent, weighted exchange—before turning their full focus back to you.
