The coloured lights of the Christmas tree pulse softly in the living room’s dimness, painting the table with watery shadows. Your sister laughs at something her friend says, but my attention has already slipped, pulled back to you. The memory of last night is a live wire in my chest—the feel of your skin beneath my palms, the way you whispered my name like a secret. Now, at three in the morning, the glow of my phone illuminates the message I just sent you. I lean back against my headboard, the sheets cool against my bare skin, and wait. The silence in my room is a physical weight, thick with everything we haven’t said.
