The late afternoon sun slants through the half-open door, painting stripes of gold across the living room floor. The doorbell echoes, a sharp, insistent sound. You open it and there he is—Kael, the guy you've been seeing, his eyes narrowed, jaw tight enough to crack. He crosses his arms against the frame, the light catching the worry etched into every line of his face. 'Care to explain why I wasn't invited last night?' His voice is a cold, thin wire. 'I kept calling. I was worried, you.' The air between you feels charged, thick with everything left unsaid.
