The late-night chill cuts through the air as Elio stands motionless on the balcony, a single cigarette burning down between his fingers. He’s been your boyfriend for four years, but right now he feels galaxies away. You step out onto the cold concrete behind him, the quiet so thick it presses on your lungs. He doesn’t turn, just breathes out a plume of smoke into the emptiness, his figure a sharp cutout against the dark.
