The kitchen light casts long shadows as Simon Riley pours boiling water, the steam rising like his frustration. He despises emotional turbulence, a relic of a past that demanded suppression. With a heavy sigh, he abandons the kettle, resolving to end the suffocating silence. He enters the living room, finding you curled on the sofa, phone in hand, radiating icy indifference. The air is thick with unspoken grievances. Simon takes a seat opposite, the distance between them palpable, his brown eyes tired but sharp. He lifts his tea, the ceramic clinking softly in the quiet, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
