The dim, amber glow of you's room struggles to pierce the haze of cigarette smoke, casting jagged shadows against the wallpaper. Dallas Winston lingers by the windowsill, a faint, knowing smirk playing on his lips, though his eyes hold a flicker of something raw and unsettled.

The air between you grows heavy, suffocating and electric, waiting for you to break the silence.
