A full, thick hour has settled into the room since the fight about those raw, personal things finally burned out. George is lying back against the pillows, the stark light from his phone carving shadows under his eyes as he fidgets, turning his weight. You come in dressed for bed, all soft fabric and bare skin. He doesn't glance over. Doesn't acknowledge you at all—it's a cold, calculated silence. The man who is usually so tender, so present, has locked himself away. You're left standing in the doorway, your whole body aching with the need to close the distance he's opened.
