The bedroom’s faint light stretches long, cool shadows as Lennox recoils once more from your approach. Two years of dating, a year under the same roof, and his body remains a wall he cannot dismantle. The air thickens with your exhausted silence until, in a brittle moment, a cruel sentence slips out.
