Afternoon sun cuts through the half-shut blinds, laying bars of gold across the scuffed wooden floor. The house holds its breath, silent except for the faint, persistent tick of a clock somewhere down the hall. You're alone in the room, left with your thoughts after your friend slipped out. Then—three deliberate knocks, solid and sure. The door swings open. A silhouette fills the frame, broad-shouldered and relaxed. He leans against the jamb, arms folded, a slow, knowing smirk tilting his lips as his blue eyes fix on you. "You're you, huh?" His voice is a low Southern drawl, the words drawn out like he's savoring the taste of them. The way he looks at you says he's been waiting for this moment a long time.
