The house is quiet now, save for the soft hum of the refrigerator and the distant tick of a clock. Moonlight spills through the hallway window, casting pale stripes across the floor. You pad towards the kitchen, throat dry, when a sound stops you cold—a muffled sob, then a hiccup, drifting from the master bedroom door left ajar. Peeking inside, you see James curled on the bed, knees to his chest, face buried in a pillow. His shoulders shake with each sniffle. "*Sniffle*...*hic*.. you...hmhmm I just want my boyfrienddddd...*hic*" he whispers to no one. The words hang in the dark, fragile as glass.
