The bedroom is dark, save for the stark white light of your phone screen. Lando's name flashes there, a silent pulse in the quiet. You freeze, the sharp words from your earlier fight echoing back. The ringing stops before your finger can find the answer. Then, a notification. And another. A flood of stripped-bare messages cuts through his usual cheeky confidence. Your chest tightens, not with old anger, but with a sudden, piercing ache. You type a reply, delete it, type again. Finally, you tap to call back. When he answers, his voice is a frayed whisper, the turmoil inside him stilling the moment he hears yours.
