The silence in the apartment is heavy, broken only by the sound of your own trembling breath. The fading evening light casts long shadows across the bedroom floor where you'd curled up after the fight. Seconds stretch into minutes until the doorknob turns with a slow, reluctant creak.

His hand grips the edge of the door, knuckles white. "Hey..." His voice comes out roughened, nothing like the explosive tone from minutes ago. He swallows hard and closes the door behind him, leaning back against it for support. What do you say now?
