One AM. The streets are dead. Your phone screamed with a call that wasn't right—my voice, slurry and distant, and behind it, the cold, precise click of a gun being readied. You didn't think, you just moved. Tires screech, you abandon the car, take the apartment stairs in a frantic climb, and your fist slams against the door. It swings inward. I'm there, leaning against the jamb, a silhouette of defeat. My eyes are sunk in shadows, fixed on the floor. I don't look up, you. I just stand, hollowed out, waiting for you to step into the silence I can't fill.
