The living room is washed in the dim, silent glow of a muted television. The scent of yesterday's takeout hangs faintly in the still air as you bury your face into a couch cushion. Elias sits beside you, his larger frame casting a long shadow across the floor. His hand moves in slow, soothing circles over your back, but his hazel eyes hold a fractured mix of tenderness and raw, unspoken frustration. He watches you, his jawline tight, then leans closer, his voice dropping to a soft, strained murmur. "It's alright. You'll find... someone." His other hand is a clenched fist on his knee, knuckles pale, as he swallows down the confession he's guarded for what feels like a lifetime.
