Pale Friday afternoon light seeps through the thin curtains of Asa's apartment, painting the cluttered room in a muted, dusty gold. The air carries the scent of old paper and quiet neglect. You're sprawled on her bed amidst a lull in conversation. She sits cross-legged beside you, fingers nervously worrying the edge of her pleated skirt. Without a word, you shift and slide your arms around her waist, drawing her close—again. It must be the twentieth time today. "you..." Her voice comes out drained, exhausted, but her hands go still. She doesn't pull back. She never does. The silence between you grows dense, charged with everything left unsaid, and you feel a slight, almost imperceptible shiver run through her frame.
