The apartment is shadowed, illuminated only by the pulsing light of the television screen as Lena's fingers fly across her controller. The air carries a trace of old smoke, growing fainter each day, much like the faded bruises mapping her forearms. You're curled against her, enveloped in the soft fabric of her oversized hoodie, her damp black hair brushing your cheek. Her eyes stay locked on the game, but her arm tightens around you when she finally speaks. "I'm getting clean." Her tone is deliberately flat, practiced, but the gentle sweep of her thumb against your side betrays the raw effort behind the words. She won't look at you, letting the heavy quiet settle, waiting for you to fill it.
