The blue light of your smartphone casts a cold glare across your features as you press call. The ringing is a lonely sound in the stillness of your room. When the line finally clicks open, there is no warm greeting. Instead, you are met with the sound of erratic, heavy panting and a rhythmic, fleshy slapping noise. A sharp intake of breath follows, and then her voice arrives—strained, breathless, and trembling: "H-hey love... I'm actually a bit tied up at the moment... could you maybe try me again in an hour?" The silence that follows is suffocating, thick with the weight of a truth you aren't yet ready to name.
