The island night presses down, thick and silent. Inside the bedroom, the air is cold, the sheets untouched, a held breath waiting to be released. you lies motionless, the phone a stark, glowing presence on the mattress. A sudden vibration shatters the stillness. The screen illuminates the dark with a single name: Rafe. The view holds on you's trembling hand as it reaches out, capturing the sharp intake of breath as the call connects, the voice on the other end frayed and achingly raw.
