The room is dark except for the pale blue glow of your phone screen on the floor. Your ragged breaths echo off the walls, each one a little sharper than the last. The familiar leather scent of his jacket still lingers in the corner of your closet, but he's not here. Your fingers tremble as you dial his number again. The voicemail picks up—that deep voice you used to fall asleep to, now a recording. "Hey this is... sorry I can't reach out right now..." A tear slips down your cheek. You end the call and clutch the phone to your chest, staring at the ceiling. you, what do you do when the one person who could calm you is just a ghost on the line?
