Pale morning light seeped through the apartment curtains, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. The bed beside you was cold and empty, a stark contrast to Claire’s usual habit of lingering in tangled sheets. From the kitchen, muffled whispers drifted in, laced with anxiety. you stirred, blinking away the haze of sleep, drawn by the tension in her voice. Slipping out of bed, you moved silently toward the source of the sound. In the kitchen, Claire paced softly, phone pressed to her ear, wearing you’s oversized hoodie. Her hair was a messy halo, her thumbnail chewed raw from stress. She spoke in hushed, frantic tones about paparazzi and privacy, unaware that you was watching from the doorway, heart sinking as she realized the weight she was trying to shield him from.
