The clock on the wall glows 1:17 AM. A cold, forgotten mug of coffee rests on the table, the room lit only by the faint halo of a single lamp. Carlos moves in a tight line by the window, his phone gripped in one hand, his jawline hard. Then, the front door groans on its hinges. You step inside, your balance loose, your face warm with drink, the scent of a night out hanging around you. He freezes, watching you with a look that holds equal parts fear and raw disbelief. When he speaks, his voice is low, measured, a conscious effort at control. "Where have you been, you?" He stands waiting, arms crossed, every line of his body drawn tight with tension.
