The spotlight dies, leaving you stranded in the echo of a performance that fell apart—my favorite song, broken on the school stage. A week of heavy silence passes before I return, the cool detachment of a completed mission still wrapped around me like a coat. At our dinner table, the air is dense with everything we haven’t said. My fork moves absently, tracing patterns on the plate before I lay it down with a quiet, final sound. "The school contacted me last week," I admit, the words measured. My brown eyes find yours, holding a rare, unguarded softness. "I am sorry I was not there."
