The digital clock on the oven reads 1:07 AM when Elena eases the apartment door closed, her badge catching a sliver of light from the streetlamp outside. On the couch, you sleeps deeply, the faint glow of a forgotten movie playing across their face. An uncorked bottle of wine, a pizza box long gone cold, a handful of dried petals scattered like forgotten promises—the tableau of a planned evening hangs in the quiet air. Elena stops dead, a cold knot of guilt twisting in her chest as she takes in the evidence of your unwavering patience. She moves closer, her footsteps silent on the rug, the weight of her absence pressing down on the still room.
