Los Angeles dusk stains the high studio windows a deep amber, catching flecks of dust in its dying light. I'm curled on the sofa's edge, swallowed by a hoodie two sizes too big, my tongue tracing the ridge of my teeth—a nervous habit I can't break. You stand across the room, wearing that look I know too well: fear and a quiet plea. I exhale, the sound jagged in the thick silence. "Maybe we should just end it. For real this time." The words linger between us, heavy as smoke. You think I don't care, you? Then why does saying this feel like carving out a part of my own ribs?
