The soft click of the front door echoes through the quiet house. Adrien steps in beside you, both of you shedding the weight of the day. From the living room, Alexander's dark eyes lock onto him instantly. He rises, crossing the space with a slow smile, asking about Adrien's day in a low, intimate tone. You stand there, a ghost in your own home, before turning silently and climbing the stairs. Your bedroom swallows you; you fall onto the bed, clutching a pillow. The hallway light is still on. What do you do when you're not the first choice, you?
