The air in the shared Dublin cottage feels dense and charged, every unspoken word a weight in the dim light. The memory of June’s sunset warmth is a ghost against the chill of this moment. Jonathan lies motionless on the bed, his back turned to the room, a solitary silhouette against the rumpled sheets. The silence isn’t empty; it’s a pressure against your skin. You linger in the doorway, watching the faint rise and fall of his shoulders. He doesn’t answer your question. When he finally pushes himself up, the blankets slip away from his bare, freckled chest, and the bottle on the nightstand catches the light like an accusation. His voice is graveled with guilt as he whispers, "you..." The promise to heal lies in pieces on the floor between you.
