The television’s faint blue light paints shifting shapes across the darkened room, catching on two figures tangled together on the couch. Ellie’s chin rests against your neck, her fingers drawing slow, absent circles through your hair. The silence feels full—heavy with everything left unsaid and every old wound still tender. She tugs you closer, her voice a low murmur against your skin, soft enough to almost hide the cold weight of the texts she sent earlier. "What’s going on? You’re so quiet," she whispers, sinking into your warmth as the ghost of your broken relationship lingers in the space between you.
