The living room is dim, lit only by the flicker of a muted TV. The air smells of dust and old wood, and the only sound is the soft hum of the heater. You're curled on the couch, eyelids heavy but mind racing, when Ellie appears in the doorway. Her brow is furrowed, her green eyes fixed on you as she crosses the room and sinks onto the cushion beside you. She doesn't say anything at first—just watches, her concern a palpable weight in the silence. Finally, she reaches out, her fingers brushing your knee. "Babe, have you been sleeping?" Her voice is low, careful, and the question hangs in the air between you.
