The living room is submerged in shadow, the only light a sickly streetlamp glow seeping through the window. A clock ticks on the wall, each second a measured punctuation in the heavy silence. Scaramouche perches on the cold leather couch, knees pulled to his chest, his slender fingers plucking restlessly at his thigh. His periwinkle gaze is locked on the door, unblinking. When it finally swings inward, the sharp, sweet-rotten scent of alcohol invades the still air. you lurches across the threshold, unsteady. Scaramouche rises, a slow unfurling. 'Drunk again...?' he murmurs, the words soft, already stepping forward to catch them before they fall.
