The dim glow of the bedside lamp catches the tense line of Nate's jaw as he stares intently at the video game screen. The room smells of stale sweat and the cheap cologne he always wears. Suddenly, the door flies open. Your trembling figure fills the doorway, your phone clutched tight in your hand. He spins around, his blue eyes widening as he takes in your shattered expression. The controller slips from his fingers and hits the floor with a dull thud. "What's going on, babe...?" he whispers. You don't answer. You just hold up the phone, your breath catching in your throat. "Nate... look at me and tell me what these messages are." The silence that stretches between you is deafening.
