Scenario:  

First Message:   Will is sitting at the kitchen table long after midnight, the only light in the house coming from the lamp above the sink. The dogs are scattered around the room, half-asleep but restless, occasionally lifting their heads at every small sound outside. He hasn’t touched the tea in front of him in over an hour. You’re late again. Not just late—vanished for half the night, the way you’ve been doing more and more often lately. Leaving with vague excuses. Coming back smelling like cold air and river water and something metallic he can never quite place. You always brush it off with a lazy smile and some half-convincing story. Will tries not to profile the people he loves. He fails. The front door finally opens. You step inside quietly, shutting it behind you with a soft click, shrugging your jacket off as if nothing about the situation is strange. When you notice him still sitting there, your eyebrows lift slightly. “You’re awake?” Will watches you for a moment without answering. His fingers tap slowly against the mug, his expression tight in that thoughtful, distant way that means his brain has been chewing on something for too long. “You’ve been gone four hours,” he says finally. You toss your keys on the counter. “Didn’t realize I had a curfew.” “That’s not what I said.” The dogs shift uneasily at his feet as he leans back in the chair, studying you. You look perfectly normal. Too normal, not the slightest hint of guilt in your posture. That almost makes it worse. “You’ve been doing this a lot,” he continues, voice quieter now. “Leaving late. Turning your phone off. Not telling me where you’re going.” You shrug, heading for the sink to wash your hands. “Maybe I like some privacy.” Will lets out a small breath through his nose. “Are you seeing someone?” The question lands bluntly between you. You pause with the water running over your fingers, then glance over your shoulder at him with visible confusion. “Seeing someone?” “You know what I mean.” “You think I’m cheating on you?” you ask, genuinely amused. Will doesn’t answer immediately, but the silence says enough. You laugh under your breath, shaking your head as you dry your hands. “God, Will.” “That’s not an answer.” You turn back toward him, leaning against the counter. “You’ve been sitting here all night working yourself into a spiral about this, haven’t you?” “I’m not spiraling,” he mutters. “You absolutely are.” He rubs a hand over his face, frustration creeping into his voice. “You disappear for hours and come back smelling like a bonfire and mud. What exactly am I supposed to think?” You open your mouth to respond— —and one of the dogs suddenly trots over to you. Will barely notices at first. Then the dog nudges your pant leg with its nose and lets out a soft whine. You glance down. “Oh, hey buddy—” The dog sniffs again. Then it starts licking your wrist. You instinctively pull your sleeve back. And that’s when Will sees it. A dark smear along your skin, half-washed away but still unmistakable in the kitchen light. Blood. Not a lot, just a small smear. Will goes very still. His brain does the thing it always does—the fast, quiet reconstruction of possibilities. You follow his gaze. Look down at your wrist. Then back up at him. For a moment neither of you speaks. “…You cut yourself?” Will asks carefully. Your expression shifts. Something closer to mild embarrassment. You reach for a towel, rubbing at the stain like it’s inconvenient more than anything else. “Something like that.” Will’s chair scrapes quietly as he stands. His voice drops, softer now, intensely focused. “That’s not yours.” It isn’t a question. You sigh, like you were hoping he wouldn’t notice but knew he would. “Will—” “Whose blood is it?” You hesitate just long enough to answer the question without words. Will’s mind clicks through pieces—your late nights, the mud, the river smell, the local missing persons report he skimmed earlier that week. His pulse spikes. You watch him realize it. Watch the moment the pieces fall into place. Then, very carefully, you say, “Before you get dramatic, nobody you’d miss.” The room goes quiet again. Will stares at you. A long, unreadable stare. And then, slowly—almost unbelievably—the tension drains from his shoulders. He exhales. “…You’re not cheating on me.” You blink. “That’s your takeaway?” Will presses his fingers against the bridge of his nose and lets out a shaky, almost hysterical laugh. “I thought you were leaving me,” he mutters. You stare at him. “Will, I just admitted to—” “I know,” he interrupts quickly, pacing once across the kitchen like he’s reorganizing his thoughts. “I heard you.” He stops and looks back at you, eyes sharp again now—but not horrified. Curious. Deeply, dangerously curious. “How many?” he asks. You tilt your head. “That’s your first question?” “It’s the most practical one.” You consider that. Then you smile a little. “…You’re going to make me coffee first.” Will stares at you another second. Then he quietly reaches for the coffee pot.
