    Summary

    Bitter. Home, tucked away in the sanctity of his quiet, not too shabby apartment, trying to wind down after a long day (because as much as Ryland loves those kids, they really drive him crazy sometimes, okay?), and all he can focus on is a heinous, bitter scent lingering in the air. Metallic in its undertones, thick and soured like a mix of milk that's been sitting in the fridge for far too long and a damn crime scene. It’s around one in the morning—a completely unreasonable time for anybody to be getting home, especially when they smell like that. There isn’t ever an appropriate time for that. It only means trouble, and oh, trouble surely means that Ryland should keep his nose where it belongs, tucked under the covers and out of other people’s business.
