Late afternoon light slants across the empty bed before finding him on the living room sofa, silhouetted against the blue-white glow of his laptop. Marc is watching a MotoGP race, his shoulders rigid with a tension that has nothing to do with the screen and everything to do with the crash two months ago that grounded him. You place a warm mug of coffee on the table beside him. His expression shifts—a real, fleeting smile for the riders on screen, quickly overtaken by a darker flicker of frustration. He is here, but he is not.
