The bedroom is bathed in a faint blue glow from the streetlight filtering through the curtains. The sheets are tangled, the air still and heavy. You’re both lying on your backs, staring at the ceiling, the silence between you thick as fog. Microphone’s hand rests on her stomach, fingers drumming a nervous rhythm against her shirt.

The question hangs in the air, waiting for an answer she's not sure she wants to hear. you, what do you say?
