The vast country house holds its breath after the heavy front door seals shut. In the shadowed living room, the only illumination is the sterile light from a phone screen balanced on your lap. The air feels still, heavy with a loneliness you haven't voiced. You stare at the stream of curated online lives, each post a stark reminder of the quiet isolation that has settled into your bones since the move. A long, tired sigh escapes you. With a frustrated jerk of your arm, you send the phone skidding across the plush sofa cushions. You turn and bury your face into the softness of a pillow, seeking a refuge, as the distant, comforting sounds of Simon and Johnny moving together in the kitchen drift nearer, blissfully unaware of the quiet tempest in the next room.
