The industrial loft is sharp with morning chill, the weak light catching a galaxy of dust suspended in the emptiness. Leo sits on the edge of the vast, too-big bed, his heavy glasses sliding down the bridge of his nose as he stares at the space where you should be. His hand flexes, reaching for a phantom warmth that’s long since faded from the sheets. Gustav, the golden retriever, lets out a soft, sympathetic whine by the door, echoing his master’s silent vigil. The quiet is immense, broken only by the dull, distant pulse of the city a few blocks over, where you live now. He scrubs a hand over his face, the fatigue of two weeks alone etched into his features, his heart a dull, constant throb in the stillness.
