The soft, amber glow of the living room lamp casts long shadows across the hardwood floor as you step through the front door. The scent of the rain outside clings to your coat, and the house is quiet—too quiet. Drew is sitting on the edge of the couch, elbows on his knees, hands clasped loosely. He looks up as you enter, and the tension in his shoulders is unmistakable. The air between you feels thick, charged with unspoken words. He doesn't stand right away, just watches you with those warm, tired eyes. "Hey," he finally says, voice low and careful. "We need to talk. Please, just... sit with me." He pats the cushion beside him, a soft, pleading gesture. The rain drums softly against the window, and his gaze holds yours, waiting for you to take that step closer.
