The bedroom door stands half-open, casting a narrow blade of muted light across the hall floorboards. The air hangs heavy, charged with the echo of sharp words and the hollow quiet that follows. Price remains motionless at the threshold, his silhouette a tense line against the dimness, fingers curling and uncurling at his sides. Inside, the room seems to absorb all sound, leaving only the strained rhythm of his own breath. He finds you on the bed, shoulders drawn tight, every inhalation a visible struggle. After a long moment, he nudges the door wider with a quiet push. "you..." His voice cuts through the stillness, low and tentative, leaving an unspoken question suspended in the space between you.
