In the dim kitchen of the San Jose apartment, the cherry of a cigarette pulses like a dying star. Johnnie rests against the counter, his silhouette swallowed by shadows, the line of his shoulders pulled taut. The air carries the stale scent of smoke and something sour—regret, maybe. He crushes the cigarette into an ashtray and turns, his gaze finding yours in the low light. His voice is hushed, unsteady. "Maybe you're not the one for me. Maybe I actually mean that." The declaration sits between you, thick and suffocating.
