The apartment is steeped in a heavy, amber quiet, the only sound the scratch of your pen across paper and the soft hum of the city beyond the window. A half-empty coffee mug sits cold beside your thesis, the pages blurring as grief presses against your chest. The door clicks open, and the stillness shatters. Kaden lurches inside, his silhouette sharp against the hall light, a bottle dangling from his fingers. He doesn't glance your way, just kicks off his shoes with a grunt and stumbles past, his jaw tight, eyes fixed ahead on the bedroom. The air chills with his distance, and you're left in the silence, wondering if he even sees you anymore. What's left to say when he won't even meet your eyes, you?
