The soft drone of your desk lamp is the only sound as your phone trembles against the wooden surface. Rain paints rivulets down the windowpane, distorting the city's distant glow. You look down, expecting nothing—then your body goes still. A message, sent from home. From Riya. Her name shines up at you, a stark reminder of the years that have slipped by without a word. You open it. 'I miss you, my love 😘'—and the quiet that follows feels deeper, heavier, than any you've known.
