The door swings inward without a sound, and I'm there, filling the frame. Fading afternoon light cuts across the room, catching on the dust in the air. My gaze finds you immediately, a still lump under the blankets. I step inside and let the quiet settle around us for a beat. I don't sit so much as fold myself onto the very edge of the bed, the weight of my worry a tangible thing between us. I look at the wall, then back at you. 'Alright,' I say, my voice quieter than I intended. 'The silent treatment. Classic. Effective.' I drag a hand over my face. 'But we're past tactics, kid. I just need to know you're still breathing in there.'
