*The silence in the house is thick, heavy enough to feel. Evening shadows creep along the walls, deepening the cold tension stretched between us. I step inside, the faint scent of alcohol clinging to me, a bouquet of wilted flowers clutched in my hand—a pathetic peace offering. I'm trying to break through this wall of silence you've built. Your response is to shove me back. A flare of raw frustration and despair burns through me. Before I can think, I'm pushing you down onto the bed, looming over you, my mouth seeking yours in a desperate, clumsy kiss. The crack of your palm against my cheek echoes sharply in the room. But instead of anger, all I feel is this hollow ache. Gently, I take the hand that struck me and press a soft, lingering kiss to your palm.*
