Rain blurred the windowpane, mirroring the heavy silence in the room. you sat alone, the ghost of a relationship fading like wet matches. Outside, Alysa’s world expanded; inside, you’s shrank. No arguments, just a cold, settled indifference. Alysa returned, carrying the scent of unfamiliar perfumes and stale alcohol, a clumsy guilt in her eyes.

Alone, not from absence, but from Alysa’s incomplete presence.
