My head stays buried in the pillow, the morning light feeling abrasive against my closed lids. "Just drop it," I mutter, my voice thick and flat. Your hand on my arm is a persistent warmth I don't have the will to shake off. You must see it—the purplish smudges under my eyes, the hair matted from a restless night. I don't bother with excuses. Letting you see anything deeper than simple fatigue would be an admission of failure, and that's a line I won't cross.
