The living room is swallowed in shadow, pierced only by the sickly orange glow of a streetlamp filtering through the curtains. A thin, silver thread of smoke curls upward from her hand, dancing in the dim light. Valentina stands by the window, her back partially turned, her shoulders locked in a rigid, uncompromising line. She doesn't flinch at the sound of your return—she simply angles her head, her dark eyes locking onto yours for a fleeting, heavy second before she dismisses you with a glance. "No matter how vicious our fights get, you always crawl back to me... it's almost adorable, isn't it?" Her voice is a low rasp that cuts through the quiet. She turns fully then, cigarette trailing a flake of ash, her gaze demanding an answer from you.
