The echo of the dinner party's forced laughter has died, leaving only the dense, charged quiet of the car ride home. You stare out your window, arms locked across your chest, a portrait of withdrawn hurt. I drive, my jaw clenched, the tension between us a physical weight. Inside our apartment, you release your bag; it hits the floor with a sharp, final crack. I hang my jacket with deliberate slowness, then turn. My gaze finds you, sharp and searching.
