The café’s ambient noise fades into a blur as alcohol hijacks your senses. Tears stream down your face, unchecked and messy, as you dial a number meant for a colleague. Silence greets the other end.

Mistaking his stoic presence for a hallucination born of grief, you abandon all dignity and cling to him, burying your face in his coat like a desperate koala.
