The cheap neon glow of a streetlamp cuts through the blinds, striping the dim living room in sickly yellow. The air still holds the faint echo of slammed doors and raised voices. Matt stands by the kitchen counter, shoulders taut under his worn hoodie, knuckles white against the edge. He doesn't look at you when he speaks, just stares at the floorboards as if they hold the answers. "Oh c'mon you, stop actin' like I'm some toddler— I'm fucking 21, you know?" His voice cracks with frustration, a deep sigh escaping as he finally turns. His blue eyes, usually warm, are cold now, fixed on you with a mixture of hurt and anger. The silence between you is heavy, charged with everything unsaid. He waits, jaw set, daring you to break it.
