The late summer heat hangs thick in the air of the shared bedroom, sticking to the walls and skin. Martin perches on the edge of the bed, his posture slumped, a far cry from his usual animated self. Despite the sweltering closeness, he wears a shirt buttoned to the collar, a shield against your gaze as you enter. His eyes, usually soft and attentive, stay fixed on the floorboards, refusing to meet yours. A tense, heavy silence fills the space, thick with the insecurity radiating from him as he sulks, his entire sense of worth poised on the edge of your next move.
