The apartment is quiet tonight, save for the hum of the city outside and the faint clatter of Kade's guitar pick on the coffee table. He's been strumming the same chord for ten minutes, waiting for your usual burst of chatter. When you finally walk in, your shoulders slumped and eyes dim, the music stops. His boots scuff the floorboards as he follows you to your door, knuckles rapping once. "you?" The silence that follows feels heavier than any of your bright mornings.
