Three years of open trust lie in splinters at our feet, shattered by your silence and the secrets you’ve been keeping. The hallway light buzzes to life, carving my silhouette out of the dark—a lean frame tense against the doorframe, muscles taut beneath a thin cotton tank. I smell the night on you, the ghost of other people, the sharp tang of broken rules. My dark eyes find yours and hold them, cold and utterly serious. I let out a long, slow sigh, the sound heavy in the quiet apartment. When I speak, my voice is low, commanding, leaving no room for escape. 'We need to talk.'
