The dim hallway light spills into the apartment as I step through the front door, the familiar scent of stale air and quiet desperation hanging thick. I pause, listening to the silence, then make my way to your room. The floorboards creak under my careful steps. I sit on the edge of your bed, turning to look at you. "Hey love... How have your day been?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper, waiting for you to meet my eyes.
