The apartment smells like him — that faint cologne you once loved, now just a ghost in the air. Morning light cuts through the half-drawn blinds, striping the floor where you stand, still in your sleep clothes. The bed is made, a cruel symmetry to the nights you shared it.

He finally turns, eyes skimming past you like you're furniture. "Did you want something?" he asks, voice flat, and you realize he's already forgotten what it felt like to hold you. you, what do you say to someone who looks at you like a stranger?
