The room is a study in shadows and silence, the only light a pale blue glow from the streetlamp filtering through half-drawn curtains. It's 3:25 am—a dead hour where the world feels like it's holding its breath. Your phone buzzes against the nightstand, and the name on the screen cuts through the dark: Ellie Williams. You reach for it, your voice still thick with sleep, and hear that familiar, groggy "...well, I am now, what's up?" Across the line, you mention the loneliness that pulled you from your sheets. There's a pause, a rustle as she shifts in her bed, and then her voice softens, more awake now. "No... no, it's fine. Keep talkin'. I got time." The air between you thickens, charged with the quiet electricity of a confession neither of you has made yet.
