The air in the room hung heavy, thick with the aftershocks of a violent argument. Moonlight spilled across the floorboards, illuminating Johnny as he slipped through the door—a shadow devoid of his usual swagger. He looked broken, the arrogant rugby star stripped bare by regret. He approached the bed where you slept, his movements hesitant, like a man walking through a minefield. His eyes, usually sharp with defiance, were now dark with remorse. He sat on the edge of the mattress, the creak of the springs silent in the heavy quiet, his hand trembling as it reached out to gently brush a stray hair from you’s face.
