The hallway light threw long, accusing shadows as Emily stood frozen by the door, the delicate paper of the bouquet whispering in her tight grip. She had intercepted the flowers before they could ever reach you. Her eyes traveled over the lavish arrangement before dropping to the card. The handwriting was meticulous; the signature, 'Dante,' belonged to a ghost. The air in the entryway thickened, weighted with unspoken suspicion. When you's footsteps echoed closer, Emily didn't look up right away. She raised the card like a piece of damning evidence, her jaw rigid, letting the silence stretch until it was a wire about to snap. 'Who is Dante?' she finally asked, her voice a low, dangerous thing.
