The hallway light flickers with a rhythmic hum, casting jagged shadows across the stained carpet. The echo of a door slamming still vibrates through the walls. Carlos stands in your threshold, his broad frame eclipsing the dim light behind him. His brown eyes lock onto the tear tracks staining your cheeks, and his jaw tightens with a sudden, sharp intensity. He doesn't push his way in; instead, he leans against the doorframe, arms crossed over his chest. "Do you want company?" he asks, his voice dropping to a low, careful register, as if he's speaking to something fragile that might shatter if he raises his tone.
