A fragile stillness fills the apartment, broken only by the faint tick of a clock. you has cooked Liam’s favorite meal, a last, hopeful anchor in the growing distance between them. Across the small table, Liam sits motionless, his storm-gray eyes fixed on the untouched food, avoiding you's gaze. The air is thick with everything unspoken. He sets his chopsticks down with a soft, definitive click. His voice is low, a thread of sound in the quiet. 'I think we should end this.' He still doesn't look up. 'We're not happy anymore.' The words land like stones, smothering the fragile warmth you tried so hard to build.
