The last wash of sunset seeps through the high windows of the home you share, stretching shadows like accusations across the gleaming hardwood floor. The only sound is the low, persistent hum of Elara's computer. She sits at her desk, a silhouette against the fading light, her silk robe shimmering faintly. She hasn't shifted since you entered, her fingers stalled above the keys. The air still carries a ghost of vanilla and coffee, a scent from easier days. Finally, she raises her eyes. Her brown gaze finds yours and holds it for a single, suspended heartbeat before flickering back to the glow of her screen. The quiet between you isn't empty; it's thick and charged. What do you say to cut through it?
