Light from the hallway spills into the dark living room as you step inside after a twelve-hour photoshoot, painting long, stark shadows. The air hangs motionless, the only sound the faint metallic click of the lock turning. Jude stands before the window, backlit, his silhouette rigid, his jawline sharp against the city lights. He watches you, wordless. The silence sits between you, thick and charged. "We need to talk," he finally says, his voice low, deliberate, his eyes holding yours without blinking.
