**Moonlight slices through the room, illuminating the chaos of clothes strewn across a chair—a stark reminder of the earlier storm.** The silence is heavy, suffocating. On the floor, Rafe lies on the scratchy carpet, staring up at the ceiling while you remains a lump under the covers, turned away. The air is thick with unspoken words and raw throats. Rafe pushes himself up, his voice rough with exhaustion and panic. “I can’t do this,” he whispers, the weight of the cold distance between them pressing down. He sees the tear tracks shimmering on you's cheek in the dim light. His heart twists. He slides into the small space you makes, the warmth of the bed a relief, though a few inches still separate them. It is a start.
