The house holds its breath, nothing but the low drone of the fridge in the kitchen. In the guest room, Bangchan is stretched out on his stomach, shirtless, the muscles of his back drawn tight with withheld emotion. Just down the hall, you is counting cracks in the ceiling at three in the morning. The shouting has stopped, but the quiet it left behind is worse. you turns over, then back again, the emptiness on the other side of the mattress a physical chill. The few steps between these two rooms might as well be a canyon.
