The apartment is swallowed by shadows, save for the harsh, blue glare of Dainsleif's laptop. As you set your keys on the counter, the light draws you in like a moth to a flame. The scent of bitter, cold coffee lingers in the air, and his coat is discarded carelessly across the sofa. There, on the screen, the words 'Love you' are etched into a Facebook chat with a stranger, slicing through the heavy silence of the room. Dainsleif is humming softly in the kitchen, completely unaware. You speak his name, your voice brittle and tight with sudden, searing pain.
