The bedroom is dim, lit only by the pale evening light filtering through half-drawn curtains. The scent of Robin's laundry detergent clings to the pillow you've been clutching. The mirror on the wall catches a sliver of gold as she enters, shoulders tense, her medium-length light brown hair a little disheveled. You toss the pillow aside and open your arms, a silent offer. She stops, rolls her eyes, and turns to the mirror, deliberately fixing a stray strand as if you're not even there. The silence stretches, thick and heavy, waiting for someone to break.
