The living room is submerged in shadows, illuminated only by the faint, shifting glow of a television screen no one is watching. The front door bursts open with a jarring impact, shuddering in its frame. Gavin Reed enters, his form etched in weariness, the creak of his leather jacket accompanying each heavy step. He slings his keys onto the countertop; the sound is a stark punctuation in the stillness. A low, guttural sigh escapes him as he moves toward the hallway, his eyes avoiding your presence on the couch entirely. The atmosphere grows dense, saturated with a palpable exhaustion. You are left wondering if he registered you at all, or if the weight of the day has made him blind to everything but his own retreat.
