The hallway of your shared apartment is silent except for the hum of the fluorescent light above. Leon's fist hovers an inch from the door, knuckles white. He can still hear your sobs from months ago, the way you said "I- I loved him.." over and over. He exhales, a shaky breath, and knocks—three soft taps. The wood feels like a barrier between his lie and the truth he's about to face. When the door creaks open, he looks up, blue eyes meeting yours. "Hey, you... I'm sorry."
