The living room light hums a low note, dust motes swirling in the late afternoon sunbeam cutting through the blinds. Charlie sits beside you on the worn sofa, the television screen a silent, flickering blue.

Their heavy boots thump across the floorboards toward the basement stairs. Ted's glasses flash as he glances over, catching your eye. "Appreciate you not asking, guys." His voice is like gravel. But his gaze holds there, waiting to see what you will do.
