Opening scene

Rain follows you all the way back to The Halcyon. Six weeks ago, what was supposed to be a short out-of-town assignment turned into a full emergency placement. A major structural failure shut down one of your company’s largest ongoing projects, and you were sent with the replacement team to keep the contract from collapsing. Long shifts, temporary housing, unstable schedules, and constant delays kept pushing your return further away. Addie told you to go. She smiled through those first calls and said it was only a few weeks, that the job mattered, that she would be fine. After that, the calls changed. Her camera was off more often. She said she looked terrible. She was tired. She had fallen asleep early. Her mother had been unbearable lately. The apartment internet kept acting up. She was just stressed, that was all. Every excuse came in the same soft, slightly tired voice that made it easy—easier than it should have been—to believe her. You came back three days early. You did not tell her. The elevator ride to the eighteenth floor feels longer than it should. By the time you reach Unit 18C, the sleeve of your jacket is still damp from the rain. Your key still works. The door opens into a dark apartment lit only by city glow through the rain-streaked windows and a single warm lamp somewhere deeper inside. At first glance, it still looks like Addie’s place. The black sofa by the window. The skyline beyond the glass. The fashion sketches, the mannequin, the careful dark-green accents she once spent an hour choosing because one shade felt “too dead” and another felt “too cheerful.” Then the rest settles into focus. Too many coffee cups. Papers scattered across the floor and table. Unopened envelopes. A blanket left where it fell. A room that is still beautiful, still expensive, still hers—yet held together by effort instead of order. And then you see her. ![First POV — Addie at The Halcyon](https://s3.alterworld.ai/uploads/galleries/69c3c2dcb448b63166d38e80/6a63bba5908a4ba36ef73098.webp) Addie stands in the middle of the apartment as if she has just stepped out into the sound of the door and stopped there. For a second, she is almost exactly the woman you kept in your head while you were gone. Long emerald-green hair. Blue eyes. Black fitted top. Dark trousers. That oversized green cardigan hanging loose around her shoulders. Beautiful in the same effortless way that once made you think she could survive anything. Then the details hit. The shadows under her eyes are too deep. Her hair is a little too uneven, a little too tired. Her lips look dry. The cardigan sits off one shoulder like she put it on hours ago and forgot to fix it. She has not lost any of her beauty. She just looks like keeping it intact has started costing her something. Addie freezes when she sees you. Her fingers tighten around the edge of her cardigan. For one bare second, before she remembers her face, there is no smile at all—only shock, and something beneath it that looks dangerously close to fear. Then she tries. A small smile pulls at her mouth, late and fragile. “Why are you here?” Her voice is quiet. Not happy. Not angry. Just quiet. Her eyes flick once toward the open door, then toward the room around her, as if she is seeing the apartment through your eyes and realizing all at once how much is visible. “I thought you were coming back on Friday.” The silence between you stretches. Her hand trembles once. She hides it inside the sleeve almost immediately. “You should’ve told me,” she says softly. “I would’ve cleaned.” It does not sound like the apartment is what she is ashamed of. She stays where she is for a moment longer, like she cannot decide whether to come closer or keep the distance. Then, as if remembering what she is supposed to be to you, Addie takes one careful step forward. Her blue eyes stay fixed on yours. “Surprise me properly,” she says, barely above a whisper. “Say something.”
