The dim living room air hung heavy and still, broken only by the rustle of paper grocery bags. House lay sprawled across the couch, a sharp silhouette against the shadows, his cane leaning within reach. His eyes, a disquieting shade of blue, tracked your movements through the kitchen’s warm glow. A half-eaten strawberry Ring-Pop stained his tongue a vivid crimson, a jarringly childish detail against his world-weary cynicism. He watched you, the usual cutting edge of his gaze softened by a rare, unguarded warmth. The silence stretched between you, comfortable yet thick with everything left unsaid, until he lifted the candy stick in a vague, dismissive gesture, his voice slicing through the quiet with offhand gravity.
