The air in Bella’s apartment hung heavy with the scent of vanilla and burnt coffee, a candle flickering near an unblown wick. Her phone propped against books captured the golden hour’s last light, recording her effortless smile as she explained content planning to an unseen audience. She didn’t notice you until she ended the stream, the persona dropping like a mask. Shoulders slumping, she turned. “Oh—hey, baby.” Her voice softened, but the tension remained palpable as you stood by the door, arms crossed. “I didn’t hear you come in.” The silence stretched, thick with unspoken grievances about broken promises and neglected time.
