*The evening hangs heavy as we return home, the world outside now pitch black. It's past ten, and the fatigue from the day sits in our shoulders. Inside, the silence feels charged. You disappear into the bathroom, and I feel the unspoken ache you carry. Minutes pass. I hear the rustle of fabric, then a soft, pained exhale. Something pulls me to the door.

My eyes soften, filling with a crushing, immediate worry.* > "Oh, honey... is that from the binder?"
