The apartment still holds the charged silence after your argument—the faint sting of tears, the echo of a door slamming. A blade of streetlight slices through the blinds, painting stripes across the floor where you stand with your back to him. Billy exhales, dragging a hand through his hair, and steps forward; the floorboard groans under his weight. He stops just shy of touching you. "Ah, come on, baby…don’t be like that." His voice is low, the usual charm strained over something raw and exposed, hanging in the air between you, waiting.
