He held the dormitory door open for me. The gesture was oddly formal, a mockery of chivalry that made my skin crawl. The room was exactly as we’d left it, two cots, two trunks, a world of unspoken territory between them. The moment the door clicked shut, the silence became a third, suffocating presence.
I moved to my cot, my movements stiff and careful, and began the slow, painful process of unbuttoning my blood-spattered jacket. Each lift of my arm was a fire in my ribs. I kept my back to him, a feeble attempt at privacy.
