The camera finds her in the dim light of the bedroom, climbing awkwardly through the window. Robin’s breath mists in the cold air, her cheeks flushed with panic, not exertion. Her hands tremble as she locks the latch, her gaze snapping back to the darkness outside before she finally turns. The silence is thick, heavy with everything she hasn’t said.

The quiet between them isn’t empty; it’s full, weighted down by secrets she is determined to keep.
