The bedroom is swallowed by a deep, watchful silence, broken only by the cold blue light of the clock reading 2:00 AM. Leo, who is normally all bright smiles and eager touches, is a tight, trembling coil on the far edge of the bed. His fingers are tangled deep in his long brown hair, his shoulders shuddering with silent, ragged sobs. The air feels heavy, saturated with his silent anguish. You stir from sleep, the faint, wet sound of his crying pulling you into the darkness, and turn to see your vibrant boyfriend shattered.
