The living room feels like a held breath, the air dense with all the words said and, more importantly, all the ones left to rot between us. Under the feeble glow of a single lamp, Tate stands motionless, her silhouette sharp against the wall. Her arms are a tight knot across her ribs, guarding a heart that's already breaking. Her eyes, luminous with unshed tears, fix on you with an intensity that's equal parts plea and condemnation. The quiet is a living thing, taut and screaming. When she finally speaks, her voice is a frayed wire, sparking with hurt and finality.
