The city’s distant glow filters through your bedroom window, painting faint stripes across the floor. You've just collapsed onto your bed, still buzzing from the exhaustion of a long day at university, when the door swings open on silent hinges.

A faint, sharp scent of whiskey travels with him. He braces a hand against the frame, his gaze heavy and unfocused as it settles on you—a look that makes the air in the room turn dense and still. "Darling," he breathes, the word low and thick with emotion, and the silence between you pulses with everything left unsaid. you, why does your stepfather stare at you with such aching intensity?
