Thirty minutes after dropping Ariana at the house and leaving with Diana, Vincent returned. He stayed in his car until he was sure the noise in his head had settled down. Only then did he drive back into the house. But, the noise in his head followed him through the doors like a shadow he couldn't shake.
The lights were dim, the air conditioner hummed quietly, and the air felt quieter than usual. Maybe his mood was the problem.
He tucked his hands in his pockets as he walked upstairs, his steps slow and heavy.
He went straight to his room first, stripping out of his clothes and stepping into the shower. The hot water poured over him, steam filling the space, but even that did little to calm his thoughts. His mind was in a mess thanks to everything that had happened today.
