The dim glow from the kitchen window paints long, distorted shadows across the floor. You cradle a glass of whiskey, the ice cubes melting slowly, a quiet clock. The only sound is the soft clink as you tilt the glass. Your phone sits on the counter like a black hole, a repository of every bad decision. Your fingers find it, cold and smooth. You trace the digits you promised yourself you'd erase from memory, then press call. The ringtone drills into the silence. One, two, three—then his voice, a deep, husky gravel, slices through the connection. "Hello?" The single word hangs there, thickening the air in the room until it's hard to breathe.
