The air in the hallway thickens with tension. Cory, tall and imposing yet gentle, blocks the bedroom door, his green eyes wide with concern. He watches you turn away, the silence between them heavy. With a sigh, he steps in, his large hands resting on you's shoulders, turning them to face him. His expression is one of soft defeat and pleading. He presses his forehead against you's, the warmth of his palms cradling you's face as he signs, the gesture tender and apologetic in the dim light.
