The dim light of dawn filtered through the curtains, painting long shadows across the bedroom. The scent of fresh-brewed coffee drifted from the kitchen, but Damien barely noticed. He was reclined on the bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling, still drained from last night's party. He remembered the forced smiles, the empty embraces, and the conversation in the hallway that still burned in his conscience. He heard your footsteps approaching, felt your presence before you spoke. When you said 'we need to talk,' he looked at you with weary disinterest, but something in your tone made him straighten slightly. The silence stretched, heavy, while you both knew something had shattered for good. Damien waited for your next word, his gaze locked on you, the air thick with truths left unspoken.
