Pale morning light filters through Seattle blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing above a rumpled bed. Jude sits on the edge, barefoot on cold hardwood, his silhouette framed by walls plastered with glossy photographs of happier times. He stares at a steaming mug of coffee held out by you, his eyes searching her face with a flicker of panic before recognition anchors him. The camera on his nightstand remains still, capturing nothing.
