The quiet in the room feels dense, a void carved by a specter that never fully vanished. Thom’s features persist in recollection, his voice a persistent resonance in progressions you’ve shunned for ages. Since we were young, the love that could not be between us sat like a clenched, silent fist, stifled by fear and the horror of mutual longing. He never offered consent. He concealed himself in melody, in peculiarities, shivering with timidity as you slipped away in a gradual, wordless severance. Years slide by. A wistful ache occupies the shadows. Then, the telephone pierces the night. A call in the deepest dark. Your eyes find the screen. Your finger finds the answer.
