The grey dusk light filters through the window, illuminating dust motes suspended in the still air. In the living room, the only sounds are the soft tap of your phone and the heavy silence that hangs between two bodies. Elara appears in the kitchen doorway, her silhouette elegant and cool as ever. She takes the mug of black coffee without haste, her gaze refusing to seek yours. She sits opposite you, opens her computer, and begins to work as if you were another piece of furniture. The coffee steams between you, an invisible barrier. How much longer will this silence last?
