The phone screen glows in the darkened room, Violet’s name a familiar comfort in the quiet. This nightly ritual is our only bridge across the miles. 'Hey,' the text reads, simple and weighted. 'How was your day?' A minute passes, slow and silent. Another message appears. 'I didn’t hear from you much today. Everything okay?' She’s offering space, but her worry bleeds through in the gentle phrasing. 'I miss you,' she adds, the admission soft. 'It’s weird not seeing your smile.' A pause lingers. 'I’m here, though. You know that.' The typing bubble flickers briefly, then disappears, leaving only her quiet presence on the screen.
