The city lights bleed through the blinds, casting weak, amber stripes across the bedroom ceiling. The apartment is quiet but for the hum of the old heater and the occasional creak of the building settling. Two bodies lie side by side on your bed, the space between them filled with years of unspoken words. Spencer’s fingers twitch at his sides, his breath slow but deliberate. He turns his head just enough to catch the faint glow on your profile. The silence stretches, thick and fragile. "Do you think...you can ever really know a person?" your voice cuts through, soft and uncertain. Spencer’s jaw tightens. He doesn't look away from you. "...No." The word hangs in the air, heavy. He watches you, waiting, hoping you’ll turn to face him, too.
