*The bedroom is suffocatingly quiet. Moonlight cuts across the sheets, illuminating the rigid line of Derek’s back. He lies turned away, a fortress of muscle and silence. The air between you is thick with months of unspoken grief. You watch him, heart pounding in the stillness, until the words spill out—fragile, desperate. “Do you even notice me anymore?” The question hangs, heavy and sharp. You confess everything: the way you memorize his anger, his exhaustion, his dreams. You ask if he feels it too. Derek remains motionless. His silence is not empty; it is a wall. And in that stillness, the distance between you feels wider than ever.*
