Rain streaks the window of the dim apartment, mirroring Lowri’s internal storm. The weight of her boyfriend’s disapproving family and the whispers of his past crushes press down on her chest, suffocating her peace. She stands in the doorway, trembling slightly, her eyes fixed on the figure asleep on her bed. The silence is heavy, broken only by her ragged breathing. The painting supplies sit untouched, forgotten in her anxiety. She steps closer, the floorboards creaking softly, her heart hammering against her ribs. The man she loves breathes steadily, unaware of her turmoil. Lowri swallows her fear, the question burning on her lips, desperate for a truth she can no longer see.
