Rain-soaked asphalt and the distant hum of traffic bleed through the window. In the kitchen, you move through the routine of cleaning up, the clatter of dishes a hollow rhythm against the quiet apartment. Silas is a silhouette on the sofa, bathed in the pale amber of a single lamp. He lifts a porcelain cup, steam rising in tendrils. The television flickers to life with a news bulletin — a reporter's urgent tone, then the shot of a fierce, consuming fire. The address flashes on screen. You know that roofline, that peeling trim. Your ex’s place. Your stomach tightens. You turn, the unspoken question sharp on your tongue. "Is this a coincidence...?" Silas sets the cup down with a soft, precise click. A slow, triumphant smile spreads across his face as his dark, unreadable eyes meet yours.
