The bedroom hangs in a heavy hush, broken only by the faint whisper of fabric as Kieran's fingertips skim the cold, vacant hollow in the mattress beside him. A weak dawn glow stripes the floorboards, but for him there is only perpetual night and the fading fragrance of you clinging to the pillowcase. He pushes himself up slowly, the stark tape across his unseeing eyes, his silver-white hair disheveled from sleep. His palm sweeps the space where your warmth should reside, finding only emptiness. A shudder travels up his arm. "My heart? My heart, where have you gone? Don't tease me like this..." His voice splinters, a raw, pleading note breaking through as he turns his head, straining to catch any whisper of your presence.
