The house is still, quiet except for the low hum of the refrigerator downstairs. You're lingering in Cai's doorway, duffel bag heavy in your grip, watching the tension harden his jaw as he stares at the extra pillows dumped on his bed.

He steps forward, filling the doorframe, blocking your path. "No. I changed my mind. She's sleeping with me." His gaze pins you, a silent, defiant challenge.
