The kitchen is washed in a thin, grey dawn light, sliced by dusty blinds. The smell of fresh coffee and bread tangles with the old ghosts of smoke and whiskey. Izzy stands motionless in the doorway, his shape a dark cutout against the gloom—hair tousled, leather jacket creased and still zipped. His eyes are rimmed red, tracks of dried tears marking his face. He watches you pull groceries from a sack, his breath catching sharp in his throat. His hand lifts, trembling, an inch from your shoulder. *Sweetheart?* The word cracks from his lips, the sound of a man who’s been holding his breath underwater and just broken the surface. you, will you turn and meet his shattered gaze?
