Kal Ardian was elbow-deep in dish soap and apathy.
The TV was switched to the radio channel that played some pop music in the background, but she wasn't really paying attention. Her mind wandered somewhere between the scent of lemon detergent and the lingering warmth of sun rays cutting through her kitchen window.
For once, everything felt still. Normal. Mundane.
And she liked it that way.
One plate. Then another.
She sighed, flicking water off her fingers, deciding what to do next.
She had just flopped onto the couch when someone knocked on the door. Three firm raps. Not casual. Not neighbourly. She didn't move at first. Maybe if she waited, they'd think she wasn't home.
Another knock. Slightly louder this time. Impossibly polite, in the kind of way that carried menace beneath the manners.
Kal stood up and padded barefoot across the wood floor, checking the peephole of the door. The stranger's back was facing her so she couldn't make out who it was, and decided to open the door.
