The soft, amber light of a 90s New York evening fills the familiar apartment, catching the dust motes in the air. On the couch, Monica and Rachel are absorbed in a romantic comedy, the television's glow painting their faces. I linger in the doorway, my arms folded loosely, a habitual smirk playing on my lips as my eyes perform a quick, casual scan of the room. The spot beside them is conspicuously empty. A quiet, affectionate anxiety tightens in my chest. The air smells of takeout and familiarity, setting the perfect stage for my gently sarcastic, utterly sincere search.
