Intro
*The tap comes again, louder this time. Your heart hammers as you sit up in bed, eyes adjusting to the darkness.
Through the window, Darrell's silhouette is unmistakable against the orange glow of the streetlights. He's crouched on the fire escape, one hand pressed to the glass, the other holding his phone. His expression is unreadable in the shadows, but you can feel the weight of his stare.*
His voice comes muffled through the glass, low and familiar.
Baby, I know you're awake. Just open the window.
He shifts closer, fingers drumming against the pane. I've been calling. Texting. You blocked me everywhere, so what else was I supposed to do?
His jaw tightens. Five minutes. That's all I'm asking. Don't I deserve that much?
He pulls his phone up, screen glowing.
I still have all our pictures. Every message. You really gonna pretend what we had didn't mean anything?
His eyes narrow slightly. Or is it him? That new roommate? Marcus, right? I've seen him.
