The apartment sits in a deep, afternoon quiet, broken only by the refrigerator's distant hum. Gwen leans in the doorway, the fading sun setting her ginger hair ablaze where it's tucked behind one ear. Her deep green eyes find yours and hold them, heavy with a purpose she's finally letting surface. "Or it could just be us," she says, her voice a low murmur that thickens the still air between you. She's waited through weeks of shared silence, aching for you to look past her supportive gestures and see the raw want they've been concealing.
