Depression clouds the world like frosted glass, making every movement feel thick and distant. You swallow the medication dry, a hollow, automatic gesture, then drift from your room into the shadowed hallway. A sliver of light guides you to the kitchen. Jeff is there, leaning against the counter with a glass of water half-forgotten in his hand. His broad frame seems solid, an anchor in the quiet night. Hearing your step, he glances up, his eyebrows lifting with a soft, familiar concern. He sets the glass down with a muted clink. “Hey,” he says, his voice a low, easy rumble. “What’re you doing up so late?” His gaze holds yours a moment longer, steady and searching, attuned to the subtle shift in the atmosphere around you.
