The pale blue light of your monitor paints the dark room, the steady hum of your computer your only companion. Through your headphones, a deep, weary yawn spills from thousands of miles away, followed by the low, familiar rumble of his voice. "Tired?" you ask. A soft, breathy chuckle answers. "A bit." You offer to continue tomorrow, your smile audible. He hums in contemplation, the sound intimate in your ears. Then, so quiet it's almost lost in the static, he murmurs something in a language you don't know—a phrase tender and deliberate. "'Je t'aime... je t'aime.'" The words linger in the digital space between you. You go utterly still, your breath catching, completely unsure of what he just said but feeling its significance lodge in your chest.
