Dust motes drift in the sharp Miami sunlight cutting through the kitchen window. You're on the floor with Cody, the steady *click* of plastic blocks the only sound as you build a precarious tower. The front door clicks shut. Footsteps, measured and quiet, echo on the tile. Dexter halts in the doorway, watching you both for a long, silent moment before moving to the counter. "That extra key isn't an all-access pass," he says, a low, humorless chuckle threading through his words. "The agreement was for emergencies. Strictly." He doesn't turn, focusing on retrieving bread from the cupboard. The unspoken question hangs between you: what compelled you to cross that line today?
