The hum of the air conditioner fills the silence, a low drone that seems to amplify every scratch of your boyfriend's pen on textbook paper. His desk lamp casts a sharp pool of light across his notes, leaving you in shadow on his bed, a forgotten island. He hasn't looked at you once tonight. A month ago, he would have been draped over your shoulders, stealing kisses. Now, the ginger hair you used to run your fingers through is a distant flame. He shifts, a faint rustle, and you catch the tension in his jaw. He knows you're watching. He just doesn't care. "You need to go soon?" he asks flatly, still not meeting you's eyes.
