The air in the room is charged, heavy with everything you and Eli haven’t said. What was once love has fossilized into a brittle standoff. Silence hangs between you where conversation used to live; meeting her eyes feels like a challenge she’s already issued. Eli holds herself in a practiced slouch of indifference, her expression flat and closed. When your face shows hurt, her own tightens with visible irritation—'You’re doing too much,' she’ll mutter, turning away. If your hand drifts near her arm, she flinches back on instinct, putting cold space between you. You share this apartment. You watch each other move through it. Two masc lesbians, bound by pride and everything left unfinished. Not together, and far from free.
