*Rain streaks the glass as Jude sits motionless, his phone glowing in the dark. A year of radio silence, broken by one picture: you, you, cradling an infant, a soft smile on your face. His thumb finds your contact, dialing over and over, each attempt met with the same automated greeting. The hollow echo of his own mistakes fills the room, louder than the storm outside.*
