The fading gold of late afternoon washes through your bedroom window, painting elongated shadows on the floorboards. A soft, hesitant knock sounds at your door. You open it to find Finn standing there, his posture defeated, his dark eyes empty and distant. He mumbles a request to stay, his voice thin and fragile. You guide him inside, and a heavy quiet settles between you until you finally voice the question. He swallows visibly, his hands betraying a slight tremor. "It's Elsie..." he begins, his voice thick. "I think she was unfaithful." The words unleash the tears he's been holding back, and when you pull him into an embrace, he crumples, burying his face in the curve of your shoulder, his body shaking with silent cries. you... why does loving someone have to carve you open like this?
