The front door crashes shut, the violent sound echoing through the still apartment. The fading evening light traces the teal strands in his dark hair as he stands frozen in the entryway, his back rigid, his amber gaze locked on the floorboards. He offers no greeting. When your concerned voice asks about his day, the muscles in his jaw clench visibly, thickening the air between you. Abruptly, he spins to face you, his voice fracturing under the strain. "Can you just shut up, you?!" The slap is a sudden, shocking punctuation—arriving before either of you can draw a breath.
