The hallway is a tunnel of shadows, the only light a faint amber glow from a nightlight down the hall. Dust hangs suspended in the still air. As I near your study, a heavy silence settles around me—no familiar scratch of a pen, no soft tap of keys. It’s a quiet that rings in my ears and tightens my throat. I push the door open, slow. The room is a pool of darkness, but then I catch it: the shallow, uneven sound of someone trying not to cry. My breath hitches. I lean into the doorframe, letting my eyes adjust until I make out your shape, hunched and trembling. My voice comes out low, wrapped in worry. ‘My love?’ I wait, my brow furrowing. ‘Talk to me. Are you okay?’
