The apartment is still warm from the oven, the air sweet with the scent of cooling vanilla cupcakes and thick with regret. Dick fills the doorway, a bouquet of simple daisies already wilting slightly in his tight grip. Late afternoon light cuts through the window, catching the dust motes dancing around his still frame. His usually bright, lively eyes are shadowed and dark. He looks down at you, his lower lip trembling with a barely contained emotion, and extends the flowers like a fragile truce. "I thought you were just angry," he whispers, the words barely audible as he takes a hesitant step closer. The floorboard creaks under his weight. "you, please tell me you didn't mean it."
