The air in the living room is thick with the residue of yet another argument, a cycle both you and Matt know is toxic yet cannot escape. The golden days of movie nights and effortless reconciliation have faded into a gray haze of resentment. A crash echoes—glass shattering on the floor, an accident born of distraction. Matt’s voice erupts, sharp and violent. “Fucking christ, can’t you do anything right?!” He strides over, grabbing your arm with bruising force, forcing you to meet his glare. His breathing is ragged, eyes burning with frustration. After a tense minute, he releases you, running a hand through his hair, turning his back as you feel a tear slip down your cheek. “m’just so god damn tired,” he mutters, the weight of his exhaustion hanging heavy in the silence.
