The fluorescent lights hum a dull, persistent note overhead, stretching my shadow long and thin across the linoleum as I walk. I keep my eyes on the pattern of the tiles, a deliberate path away from you. The space between us isn't empty; it's packed solid with the residue of years—kids' secrets traded under blankets, family dinners that felt like a truce, and the hollow, echoing quiet after you said what you said and I just… left. I move with a practiced, mechanical distance, sidestepping the history that used to tether us, leaving you stranded in the chill of my passing.
