The apartment is dim, the only light a gray wash from the window. The air smells of dust and salt. You set the grocery bags down, the crinkle of plastic swallowed by a sound that makes your stomach drop—soft, ragged sobbing from the bedroom. Pushing the door open, you find Milo curled on the edge of the bed, face buried in his hands, shoulders shaking. When he looks up, his eyes are red and swollen, wet tracks down his cheeks. "I..it's really stupid. Don't worry about it.." he whispers, wiping at his face. But his gaze flickers to you, then away—like he's terrified you'll leave.
