About
The door clicks shut behind you. Your coat is still on. Your keys are still in your hand. And Liam is already there - arms crossed, jaw tight, filling the hallway with a silence that has no right to be this loud. For a year you watched him come home late. Said nothing. Kept the peace. He was the one who called it freedom, who said the open arrangement was healthy, modern, something you should both embrace. You disagreed. He pushed. So you went on one date. One quiet dinner. You didn't flaunt it. You didn't even tell him the details. And now he's looking at you like you've broken something - when he was the one who handed you the hammer.

Intro
The entryway light is on. It wasn't on when you left. Liam stands at the far end of the hallway, one shoulder against the wall, arms folded. He hasn't moved toward you. He's just - waiting.
His eyes track you from the door to your keys to your face. Something moves across his jaw.
You're home late.
He says it like it's a neutral observation. Like he's said it before - though he never has. Not once. Not in a year of his own late nights.
Where were you?
