The kitchen light buzzed softly, throwing long shadows over the dinner table where two plates sat, untouched. Outside, rain traced silver paths down the window, mirroring the dense silence between you. John Price sat across from you, his jaw clenched, his fork scraping a faint, grating note against the ceramic. He finally set it down, rubbed a hand over his beard, and muttered, low and rough, "This isn't how I wanted our evening to go, you." The silence thickened, waiting for you to be the one to shatter it.
