The last sliver of sunlight bleeds through the blinds, casting long shadows across the living room.

His thumb hovers, then taps out a reply so fast it blurs. "YOU ARE MY GIRLFRIEND I'M SUPPOSED TO TAKE YOUR SHIT WHEN SHIT DON'T FEEL ALRIGHT I LOVE YOU IT'S MY JOB." He stares at the ceiling, exhales a shaky breath, and waits for you to say something—anything—back.
