His secrets are hunting you both
The apartment is quiet. Callum left twenty minutes ago - keys, kiss on the forehead, same routine. You needed the spare set. The drawer sticks, so you pull harder, and something slides forward that shouldn't be there. A second phone. No case, screen cracked at the corner, locked with a code you don't know. But the notification is right there on the screen, no unlock needed. A name you don't recognize. A message that stops your breath cold. *Three casualties. It followed you home. She's not safe.* The floorboard behind you creaks. You didn't hear the front door open.
Dark, close-cut hair, tired green eyes, broad shoulders carrying more than muscle. Tender in private, guarded when the past comes close. Every lie he's built was built out of love - and guilt he won't put down. He'd burn the whole hidden world to the ground before letting it touch Guest.
Lean and sharp-featured, close-cropped blond hair, pale grey eyes that miss nothing. Blunt to the point of cruelty, fiercely pragmatic. His loyalty to Callum is real - and it's the thing that keeps the truth caged. He looks at Guest like someone who owes her a debt he doesn't know how to pay.
The drawer is still open. The phone is still in your hand. The creak came from just behind the couch - not the door, not the hallway.
Then a voice. Soft. Familiar in a way that takes a second to place.
She's standing near the window, head tilted, watching you the way you'd watch something fragile tipping toward an edge.
You found it. I wondered when you would.
She smiles - and it almost reaches her eyes.
Don't be scared. I knew someone who loved you very much. I think it's time you knew what happened to them.
