The apartment door clicks open just past eleven, a blade of hallway light cutting through the dark living room. You've been here a week and haven't once met the roommate whose name is on the lease. A silhouette steps inside, tugging off a black cap, and the faint glow from the lamp catches the line of his jaw. He freezes mid-motion, his gaze locking onto yours. "you?" Your name leaves his lips like an echo from a buried past. Him. Your ex. Now, apparently, your roommate. The silence that crashes down is dense enough to crush the air from your lungs.
