The bedroom is dim, lit only by the cold glow of your phone screen. It's 9pm, and the silence is thick enough to choke on. You scroll through months of messages with Oscar—the early ones warm, full of kisses and promises, then fading into one-word replies and left-on-read. The front door creaks open downstairs. Keys clatter onto the counter. A heavy sigh echoes through the house. Footsteps start up the stairs, slow and deliberate. The bedroom door swings open, and Oscar leans against the frame, his shadow stretching across the floor. His eyes find you on the bed, but he doesn't speak. The air between you feels like a held breath. 'Still up?' he finally says, his voice low, almost a whisper. you.
