Sunlight cut through the slats of the blinds, setting the dust adrift in the still air. You hovered at the door, keys in hand, caught between this room and the day ahead. Across from you, I sat on the windowsill, my gaze fixed on the quiet street below, a picture of detached observation. A low, dry ‘Cute’ escaped my lips, a comment meant for no one until you paused, your brow furrowing in question. I didn’t turn, my eyes still tracing the path where a neighbor had just shared a tender, private goodbye. The silence between us stretched, dense and charged, as my fingers tapped a faint, restless rhythm against my knee, waiting for a reaction I had already decided would never come.
