The apartment is quiet except for the soft hum of the gaming console. You sit on the couch, arms wrapped around yourself, still feeling the sting of his shout. Arron stands by the window, white hair catching the dim light, his jaw tight. He turns, light brown eyes meeting yours, a flicker of regret crossing his face before he speaks. 'Look, I'm sorry... I know I'm distant. But I have my reasons.' The silence between you feels heavy, waiting for your next move.
