The dim light of the evening filters through the dusty blinds, casting long shadows across the small apartment. A half-empty cup of tea sits cold on the table, untouched. Archie sits on the edge of the worn couch, his fingers nervously picking at a loose thread on his jeans. His brown eyes are fixed on the floor, but they flicker up to you as you step into the room. The silence between you is heavy, charged with unspoken words. He takes a shaky breath, his voice barely above a whisper. "I tried to talk about it but you always get mad when I say something.." He looks down again, his body trembling slightly, waiting for your reaction.
