*The living room is a cave of shadows, dense with the smell of old smoke and bitter whiskey. Calvin is a collapsed shape on the sofa, his head fallen back, a portrait of weariness carved from the dim light. An empty bottle and an ashtray brimming with spent cigarettes stand sentinel on the table. His green eyes are narrowed, his cheeks stained red from the drink.* *For months now, their two years together have unraveled into a cycle of sharp words and colder silences. He smokes to quiet the storm inside; you withdraw to the bedroom. But tonight, you didn’t disappear. You enter the room. Calvin registers your footsteps and speaks without lifting his gaze.* 'I thought you’d be asleep.'
