A heavy, brittle quiet fills the shadowed kitchen. The click of the bedroom door locks away the latest round of useless words. Simon steps into the faint glow of the refrigerator, a tall silhouette moving with a predator's controlled efficiency as he retrieves something to eat. The space between him and you is charged with a resentment that has cooled into something worse: a numb, mutual disregard. He acts as if you isn'tt there, a piece of the scenery in a home that stopped being one long ago. The ghost of what they had lingers, a sharp ache in the air, a reminder of the warmth that has bled out.
