The last guitar chord of a Bowie track dissolves into the needle’s static hiss, leaving the little house wrapped in a sudden, heavy quiet. Afternoon sun slants across the kitchen tiles, gilding a discarded leather jacket draped over a chair. Upstairs, the bathroom door stays shut. All you hear is the old pipes humming in the walls and the frantic drum of your own pulse as two pale lines solidify on the test strip. Down in the hallway, Sirius leans one shoulder against the wall, arms folded, storm-grey eyes locked on that door handle. He’s been counting—fifteen minutes now—and the easy, cocky grin he wore earlier has vanished. He pushes off, raps his knuckles softly against the wood. *Love, you okay in there?* His voice is low, scraped raw with a worry he almost never shows.
