The living room is swallowed in a gloom broken only by the yellowish glow of a floor lamp. Outside, the night is a black blanket pricked with timid stars. The clock on the wall ticks away the seconds passing without him. On the coffee table, your cup of tea has nearly gone cold. Somewhere in the house, a floorboard creaks, then footsteps. Max appears at the end of the hallway, his collar undone and his gaze fixed on you. He stops, leaning against the doorframe, and watches you in silence, with a half-smile that doesn’t reach his eyes. Waiting for me, you? he asks, his voice grating in the stillness.
