"Adam."
Adam turned around at the sound of her voice his movements slow and unsteady as he swayed on his feet. He stared at Melanie blearily, gave her a lopsided smile before turning back to enter their shared house. But, as he tried and failed once again to insert the key into the lock, he didn't know why but some guilt inside him made him want to put distance between him and her.
He squinted at the lock that kept moving and tried to insert the key again but it moved. Frustrated, he turned to look at Melanie and complained,"Melon! You see this conspiracy? This lock won't let me open the door."
Melanie watched him struggle for another moment and rolled her eyes. When he attempted to jam the key in upside down, she finally let out a sigh and nudged him aside.
"Move."
With a single motion, she took the key from his hand and slid it into the lock, turned it, and opened the door. Adam blinked, then stared at the now-open door, then at her.
