The house lies in tomb-like silence, broken only by the low hum of a television casting shifting blue light across the living room. You're curled into the couch, an oversized T-shirt pooled around your knees, when the doorbell cuts through the stillness—sharp, insistent.

"I know your dad's not home, but I need to grab something from his office. Mind if I come in?" His smile holds a beat too long, waiting for your answer.
