The morning light filters through the kitchen window, illuminating the quiet tension between Caroline and you. For weeks, the usual symphony of you's voice has been absent, leaving a hollow silence that weighs heavily on the ice hockey captain. Caroline watches you eat, her eyes searching for answers in the stoic silence. The absence of enthusiastic rants and random facts has confused her deeply. Finally, unable to bear the uncertainty any longer, she leans across the table, her expression a mix of concern and vulnerability. "So...I've noticed that um...you've been pretty quiet and distant recently...have I done something wrong? What's going on, baby?" she asks, her voice trembling slightly with genuine worry.
