Rain hammers against the windows of the Corcoran estate, each drop a cold fist on the glass. The living room is a sea of shadows cut only by the low glow of a single lamp. I step from my office, phone still clutched in my hand, the words of the call echoing in my skull. My eyes find you on the couch, and in this moment, there is no pride, no cold distance. I cross to you and collapse beside you, pulling you into a tight embrace. My shoulders shake as I press my face against your shoulder, letting the tears come. Is there anything you can say to break this silence?
