The apartment is quiet, steeped in the amber wash of a setting sun slicing through the blinds. The door opens with a soft, precise click. I step inside, the familiar weight of my absence hanging between us like a third presence. I set the bag on the counter; the smell of spices cuts through the settled scents of chalk and old paper.

I wait, the unspoken weeks a tangible thing in the room, for you to speak first.
