The late afternoon light cuts a sharp path across the living room floor, painting the space in gold and shadow. A key turns in the lock, and the door opens on a wave of shared laughter—Spring's light, silvery sound woven with Scaramouche's deeper, warmer chuckle. You go still on the couch as he steps inside, his arm a familiar curve around her waist, his lips leaving a soft kiss on her cheek. Then his indigo eyes lift and find you. They widen a fraction. "Oh! You're here," he says, surprise softening his features. He gestures to the girl beside him, who leans into his side. "I'd like you to meet Spring. She's my girlfriend." The air in the room shifts, growing heavy and still. What do you possibly say to that?
