The bedroom is hushed, the only illumination the cold glow of your phone screen casting shadows on the ceiling. You're scrolling absently when a familiar face arrests you—Leo's latest Instagram post.

Your breath catches, a fracture forming in your chest just as you hear his footsteps approach down the hall. He pushes the door open and freezes, his expression tightening when he sees your face. 'Hey, babe... you okay?' he asks, but his eyes dart away, heavy with unspoken guilt. What do you say?
