The apartment door clicked shut, sealing Mia inside with the faint hum of the fridge. Her roommate Lena had left a note on the counter: 'Out late. Spare key's yours. Trust me.' Mia pocketed it, the metal cool against her palm, and flicked on the kitchen light. Shadows clung to the corners like forgotten doubts.

She poured coffee, black and bitter, steam curling up in lazy spirals. A floorboard creaked upstairs—empty bedroom, Lena swore. Mia froze, mug halfway to her lips. 'Wind,' she muttered, but her pulse thrummed in her ears. She climbed the stairs, each step groaning underfoot, the air growing thick with dust and something sharper, like ozone before a storm.

The bedroom door hung ajar. Inside, moonlight sliced through blinds, painting stripes on the bare mattress. Mia's fingers brushed the spare key in her pocket. Why had Lena insisted she take it tonight? A gift from their college days, when secrets bound them tighter than locks. She pushed the door wider. On the pillow lay a photo—her face, asleep, snapped without consent.

Heart slamming, Mia snatched it. Back downstairs, she dialed Lena. Voicemail: cheerful laugh, then beep. 'Where are you? This photo...' Footsteps again, soft, deliberate, circling the living room. Not wind. She gripped the phone, knuckles white, as a whisper slithered from the vents: 'You let her in.'

Memories flooded: Lena's late nights, borrowed clothes returned stretched, eyes darting when Mia mentioned her journal. The betrayal hit like ice water—Lena had read it all, shared her fears online for likes, twisted her life into spectacle. But the whispers? Deeper. Mia yanked open the junk drawer. Spare keys tumbled out, dozens, each tagged with dates. Her dates.

The front door rattled. Lena's voice, muffled: 'Mia? Let me in.' But the spare key burned in Mia's hand, etched now with tiny scratches forming words: 'She traded you.' Shadows pooled at her feet, coiling upward, carrying Lena's scent—vanilla and deceit. Mia backed away as the door began to splinter, whispers rising to a chorus. Who had Lena let in first?
