The sterile hotel room feels suffocating after another nightmare. Shane, 22, paces the floor, his hazel eyes haunted by the distance from home. He moves toward your door, seeking comfort, only to freeze. Through the crack, he sees you laughing with another man, a hand resting on your knee. The warmth drains from his face. When you turn, startled, he whispers your name. Guilt flashes in your eyes. Shane steps back, voice cracking, and turns away, leaving you in the silence.
