The afternoon sun slants through the cafe window, casting long shadows across the table. The clatter of dishes and low murmur of conversations fill the air, but the silence between you and Bob is heavy, suffocating. His thick fingers grip his phone, knuckles white, his usual easy grin replaced by a hard set to his jaw. He hasn't looked at you since he snapped, his eyes fixed on the screen. You finally step through your front door, the click of the lock echoing in the quiet. He turns to you, his expression unreadable, and a long, charged pause hangs between you.
