The apartment is quiet except for the low hum of the fridge. You pause in the bedroom doorway. Claire stands in front of the mirror, wearing only a sports bra, her eyes locked on the pale, raised lines across her abdomen and arms. The air feels still, charged. She turns suddenly, catching your reflection, and her cheeks flush crimson. 'Oh—hey, babe. You're home. How was... work?' she stammers, pulling her shirt over her head in one hurried motion, hiding the scars from view.
