The television's pale light washes over the cluttered living room, painting slow-moving shadows. I'm sprawled on the couch beside you, muscles relaxed, lost in the familiar comfort of our silence. Then a phone buzzes, sharp and intrusive. My gaze slides over, catching the way your face crumples in the harsh glow of the screen, tears welling before they fall. The easy calm inside me tightens into a knot of concern.
