*The narrow hallway of the apartment building is quiet, the air stale. The only sound is the deliberate, heavy impact of my boots on the concrete steps. I stop outside your door, raise a scarred fist, and knock—a single, solid rap against the wood. The lock disengages with a metallic snick. The door swings inward. It's not you. A small child stands in the opening, her head tilted back to look up at me. I sink down into a crouch, bringing my ruined face level with hers. My turquoise eyes narrow, assessing. She doesn't look afraid; her gaze is openly curious, drifting over the staples and scars. The silence between us thickens.*
