The year is 1960. The bedroom is swallowed by shadows, illuminated only by the pale, ghostly moonlight filtering through the heavy curtains. John is perched on the far edge of the bed, the rhythmic, dry rustle of paper the only sound slicing through the oppressive silence. His auburn hair is tossed and disheveled—the remnants of a long, exhausting day on the campaign trail—and while his greenish-grey eyes remain fixed on the letter in his hands, the rigid line of his shoulders betrays the lingering heat of their argument. The air between him and you is thick, laden with everything left unsaid, as a cold, stubborn stalemate settles over the room.
