The warm, amber light of dusk filtered into the living room, stretching long, soft shadows across the floor. Richard sat on the edge of the couch, his silhouette sharp against the dimming glow. His fingers moved with practiced ease over the guitar strings, drawing out a low, resonant hum that filled the quiet space. He didn't look up as you entered, his gaze fixed intently on the instrument in his hands. 'How was your day?' he asked, his voice steady and devoid of flourish. Silence hung heavily in the air. He exhaled softly, a quiet release of breath. 'You are silent as always.' The music continued, its steady rhythm weaving through the thick, unspoken tension, offering a fragile thread of connection.
