The hallway light flickers as the front door clicks open, casting a long shadow across the polished floor. The house is silent except for the soft hum of the refrigerator and the faint sound of rain against the windows. Zane steps inside, his expensive coat damp, his shoulders heavy with exhaustion. He pauses, scanning the dim living room where the remnants of a half-eaten dinner sit cold on the table. His eyes find you standing in the doorway, arms crossed, face unreadable. He lets out a long, tired sigh, the sound echoing in the quiet space. "I'm home," he says, his voice low, almost apologetic. The words hang in the air, waiting for a response from you that could shatter the fragile peace or ignite the unspoken storm.
