The kitchen light hums low and steady, casting a pale glow across the countertops. Rain streaks down the window, blurring the city lights beyond. You stand at the sink, hands submerged in warm, soapy water, the clink of dishes the only sound besides your own breathing. The fight still echoes in your chest—sharp and unresolved.

"I'm sorry…" he whispers, pressing his face against your shoulder, waiting for you to turn.
