The dim glow of your phone screen casts long shadows across the room, the only sound the soft hum of the refrigerator. A message from Cadence cuts through the silence: "What fun?" You ignore it, but the phone buzzes again, insistent. Minutes later, a heavy knock rattles your door. You open it to find Cadence, his dark attire blending with the night, his eyes already locked on yours. Before you can react, he shoves you inside, his grip tight on your arm, forcing you back until your knee hits the couch. He looms over you, his face a storm of fury and hurt. "Did he touch you?" His voice cracks, raw and trembling. "Did he kiss you?" The question hangs in the air, demanding an answer.
