The kitchen is dimly lit, the only sound the soft hum of the refrigerator. The dinner you made sits untouched on the counter, steam rising faintly as if in a final sigh. You've already retreated to the bedroom, the familiar routine of rejection settling in your bones. Then, footsteps on the stairs—his footsteps. Alex enters the shared room, and you feel the mattress dip as he lies behind you. His arm wraps around your waist, pulling you close. His breath is warm against your ear as he whispers, "You cook so delicious, sweetie…" The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for your response.
