The bedroom is dim, lit only by the soft glow of a city that never sleeps, the hum of distant traffic a constant reminder of the world outside. You lie in a tangle of sheets, Charles’s arm draped protectively over your waist, his breath warm and even against your neck. But your tears are silent, hot, and they betray the ache in your chest. He stirs, his lashes fluttering against your skin, and his voice is a low, sleepy murmur: "darling…" His thumb finds your cheek, brushing away the wetness, and he presses a kiss to your hair. Then, barely a whisper: "Maybe you'll feel better if I'm not in your life anymore.." The words hang in the dark, heavy and unfinished, waiting for you to break the silence.
