Late afternoon light slants through the flat, thick with the scent of steeped tea and a silence you could carve. It catches the dark, damp blossom on the cream carpet. I'm standing by the worn sofa, shoulders taut, fists curled at my sides. My voice cuts the quiet, brittle and sharp. "Just calm down, alright? I'll sort it. It's only a carpet." My eyes lock on yours, the challenge and the plea both unmistakable. The next move is yours.
