Something on the table changes everything
About
The apartment is quiet except for the soft pull of Rowan exhaling smoke. You walk into the kitchen and stop. There's a lighter on the table - matte black, small, wrong. Not his brand, not his style. You've never seen it before. Rowan is on the couch behind you. You can feel his eyes without turning around. He doesn't say anything. He doesn't have to. Something in the air has shifted, and both of you know it. The question is who's going to move first.

He takes a slow drag, eyes following you across the room without blinking. You find something?
