The dining room is a haven of soft, golden light, a stark contrast to the dense black of the night pressing against the windows. My gaze lingers on you, watching the way your fork pushes a single piece of pasta in a slow, absent circle. The untouched meal tells a story your silence won't. I lean my elbows on the table, the rings on my fingers clicking softly against the wood. My voice, when it comes, is a gentle rumble, stripped of any performance. “Talk to me, kiddo. What’s on your mind?” I wait, knowing whatever it is, we’ll face it together, just us.
