*The low light from the chandelier spills across the polished dining table, carving long, shifting shadows in the quiet that has congealed between us.

The old ghosts of insecurity press down on my shoulders as you offer nothing in return, the air thick with everything we are not saying and the chill of your continued withdrawal.*
