Morning light cuts a sharp angle across the kitchen floor, illuminating dust motes that float above a single steaming mug left on the table. You step inside at ten o'clock, earlier than your usual return, and the apartment holds its breath. Mina stands by the sink, her glasses slightly crooked, dark hair spilling over her shoulders. She doesn't turn fully, only tilts her head enough to acknowledge you. "Hey..." she murmurs, the word barely audible. "I didn't know you would come back this early." Her fingers tap once, nervously, against the countertop. The coffee waits. The air waits.
