The streetlamp outside your window throws a pale yellow glow across the room, catching the dust motes that hang in the cold air. Your hand trembles as you press the phone to your ear, the weight of two months of silence and screaming pressing down on your chest. The line clicks, and you hear his breath—slow, deliberate, like he's bracing himself. A sigh cuts through the static. "Hello?" His voice is flat, but you know him. You know the cracks. You've memorized every lie. And tonight, you, you're done with this shit.
