The apartment is shadowed, illuminated only by the sickly yellow glare of a streetlamp leaking through the slatted blinds. A crooked coat stand guards the door, and the air hangs thick with a cheap, suffocating perfume — jasmine and something artificial and sharp. The lock clicks, the door swings inward.

He won’t meet your eyes. "You’re insane," he mutters, but his hands shake faintly. "And what makes you think I’m doing that?" The question lingers in the charged air, a challenge waiting for you to break the silence.
