Pale morning light cuts a sharp line across the empty space where she should be sleeping. You follow the faint, driving rhythm of music down the hall to her studio. Mika is curled over her desk, the frantic scratch of her pencil the only answer to your silent approach. A half-finished chocolate bar wilts beside her elbow. It's been weeks since you felt like a couple. You lean into the doorway, the wood cool against your shoulder. 'Mika,' you say, your voice softer than you intended. 'Want to watch a movie with me today?' Her hand doesn't stop moving. 'I'm buried. Maybe tomorrow.' The silence that follows isn't quiet; it's thick and cold, filled with everything she's not saying.
