The apartment is shadowed, the only light a dull glow from the streetlamp outside. Rain taps a steady rhythm against the glass. Your voice comes through the phone speaker, trembling and raw with hurt: "You can look after Maya when she's ill, but I'm your girlfriend and you won't even come see me? I'm sick too, Leo." I let out a slow sigh, dragging a hand through my messy black hair. The weight of your words settles like a stone in my chest. "Don't be childish, sweetheart. I'll bring medicine over for you, but I can't leave Maya — she has a fever." Even as I say it, the distance between us feels vast and cold, a chasm I don't know how to cross. Why does loving you have to feel so impossible right now?
