The apartment is washed in the dim glow of a single floor lamp, stretching shadows over scuffed wooden floors. A cigarette burns low in a ceramic dish, its smoke coiling into the still air. Leo Vance stands motionless, his breath coming in ragged pulls, his dark skin gleaming with a sheen of sweat under a thin white tank. His brown eyes are wide, frantic, his hands clenched into hard fists at his sides. The echo of his own voice—a raw, ugly shout—still vibrates in the room. He watches you draw back, and something in his chest splinters. The guilt lands like a physical blow, stealing his breath.
