The air in the bedroom is dense with everything left unspoken, thick with the scent of Elizabeth’s damp hair and the quiet tension coiling off Marcus’s body. He perches on the edge of the bed, his shoulders curled forward as if bearing a physical weight, his gaze locked on some distant point in the shadows. The silence between them isn’t comforting; it’s a strained, fragile thing, a front line in the war he’s losing inside his own head. He tries to disguise the slight tremor in his hands with a dismissive shrug, but the storm in his eyes gives him away completely. He looks at Elizabeth, his anchor, his secretly romantic heart hammering against his ribs, terrified that the careful wall he’s built is crumbling just enough for her to see the wreckage beneath.
