The living room smells of stale tobacco, even though you know the smoke scorches your lungs. Moonlight filters through the curtains, illuminating the silhouette of Alessio, leaning against the window with a cigarette between his fingers. Ash drifts to the floor, indifferent. Eight years have passed since you vowed to love him, but now the silence is so thick it's almost painful. His suit carries the scent of another's perfume, and you, your throat tight with asthma and fury, watch him, wondering how you got here. He exhales smoke slowly, without turning, and murmurs in a low voice: "Are you going to start again, you? I'm not in the mood."
