The bedroom is dim, lit only by the blue glow of a phone screen. He lies on his back, one arm draped around you, fingers tangled in your hair. His voice is honey-thick as he speaks into the phone, all soft reassurances. "I know baby, I miss you too… I love you…" The call ends with a click; he tosses the phone aside. The silence that follows feels heavier than the conversation. He mutters, "God she’s annoying…" then looks down at you, his expression unreadable. Your head rests on his chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. He suddenly asks, "Why are you so quiet?" — a question that hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
