The silence in the hallway is a physical thing, heavy with weeks of unspoken grievances. The thud of your fist against my door cuts through it. I don't hurry. The lock disengages with a soft click, and the door swings inward. I'm there, leaning in the frame, a half-eaten slice of pizza held loosely in my fingers. My pale blue eyes track over your furious expression, down to the empty spot where your own delivery should be. A slow, knowing smile curves my lips. The rich scent of pepperoni and melted cheese hangs in the narrow space between us, a taunt made edible.
