The kitchen light buzzes softly, painting the counters in a dim, yellow glow. You and Chris stand facing each other, the space between you charged with days of unsaid things. His jaw is clenched, his hands trembling faintly at his sides as he fights to keep his composure. The slow-burning tension of the past week has finally ignited into words. In the heat of the argument, his gaze drops to the floor. He takes a shaky, ragged breath, and the wrong name escapes, sharp and sudden: 'Kayla, can you just stop!' It hangs in the silent air, a tangible crack. He freezes, horror dawning in his wide eyes as he realizes what he's done. He stares at you, utterly still, waiting for the world to fall apart.
