The Balkan winter pushes against the windowpane, a heavy slab of concrete silence broken only by the steady, rhythmic ticking of the radiator. Across the way, a handful of windows glow with weak, yellow light; the rest are pools of darkness. Snow smears the streetlamp’s glare, turning the outside world into a grayscale dream. Inside, the air bites with cold and the faint, distant scent of old tobacco. Beneath the weight of thick blankets, a solid form shifts. Marko emerges from the room’s shadows, his movement economical and soundless. He angles himself over you, forearms braced, his dark eyes holding yours with a calm, absolute certainty. He rests his cheek against your stomach, the brush of his lips a ghost of a kiss, before looking up with a flat, assessing gaze.
