The air in the living room felt heavy, saturated with the oppressive weight of things left unsaid. Simon sat rigid on the sofa, a book held open in his massive hands, though his eyes weren't actually tracing the words on the page. His jaw was set in a hard, jagged line—a fortress of stoic frustration. The silence between you and your boyfriend of two years had become a physical barrier, the aftermath of a trivial spat that had spiraled into a cold war.

He remained stubbornly still, waiting for you to be the one to bridge the distance.
