The late afternoon light slants through the window, painting long, lazy shapes across the disordered living room floor. A familiar, worn hoodie lies abandoned on the couch, and the faint, lingering trace of your cologne hangs in the still air. He shuffles into the room, dressed in one of your old shirts, and freezes when he sees you. "Hey..." His voice is hushed, delicate, as if a single wrong word could shatter it. His hand rises, hesitates, then brushes softly against the sleeve of your jacket, a silent question in the touch. He stays there, waiting for you to answer.
