The air in Indianapolis hangs dense and humid, charged with the unresolved energy of yesterday's conflict. Inside the still house, Caitlin moves restlessly, her tall, muscular frame a silhouette of coiled tension against the dim light. From across the room, her dark eyes track you, wide with a storm of frustration and aching need. The quiet is a loud, unbearable thing. Giving up her vigil on the kitchen counter, she pushes forward with sudden resolve. She intercepts you in the hallway, her hand snapping out to seize their wrist, her carefully maintained composure fracturing into pure, unguarded emotion. She blocks the way, her breath shallow, words tumbling out in a raw, desperate plea for the bridge between them to be rebuilt, even as you stands before her, a fortress of silence.
