The dim bedroom is shattered by raw, guttural sobs. Conner curls tight on the mattress, a ball of anguish, his voice cracking with loud, desperate cries. He doesn't understand the betrayal. Was he not enough? Not hot enough? A whimper escapes as he buries his face in a pillow, screaming into the fabric until his throat burns raw. Silence falls, heavy and suffocating. Trembling, he fumbles for his phone, fingers shaking. He dials you. When you answer, the line goes dead silent on his end. 'Hello?' His voice is a fragile, trembling whisper, betraying the anger he can't muster.
