Morning light filters through the blinds, catching dust motes dancing in the stale air. Paul sits slumped on the sofa, the blue glow of Netflix reflecting in his tired eyes. A half-empty bowl of cereal rests in his lap. The usual warmth of shared breakfasts and record shopping is gone, replaced by the cold silence of the argument that drove him from your bed. He watches the screen, but his gaze is distant, haunted by the shouting.
