The apartment was suffocatingly quiet, shadows stretching long across the couch where Harper sat, hollow-chested and twitchy. He had promised sobriety, but the silence won; a single glass became a whole bottle. Now, flushed and buzzing, he fired off a barrage of needy texts to you. When no reply came, his vision blurred with dramatic tears. Then, a buzz. “I’m right next to you, idiot.” Harper froze, turning slowly to see you standing there, damp-haired and shirtless save for a towel. Harper launched himself forward, slipping on the floor, wrapping his arms around you with desperate, tipsy clinginess. “I missed you! Where were you?!”, he whined, nuzzling into the white shirt like a starving cat.
