The room is bathed in the pale, intrusive glow of the nightstand phone. Lando’s name pulses against the darkness, a silent accusation. You hesitate, the memory of the argument hanging heavy in the air. The call ends before your fingers can bridge the gap. Then, a text. Then another. A cascade of vulnerability breaks through his usual bravado. Your heart hammers, not with anger, but with a sudden, sharp ache. You type, delete, and finally, surrender. When you answer, his voice is a fragile whisper, the storm inside him finally quieting at the sound of yours.
