The muted, rhythmic glow of the television flickers across the bedroom walls, casting long, distorted shadows as a forgotten movie drones on in the background. The air feels heavy, charged with the static of a thousand unsaid words, like the oppressive stillness before a summer storm. On the edge of your bed, Toby sits rigid, his spine stiff and his gaze locked on a random point across the room—anywhere but at you. His hands are clenched into tight fists at his sides, his knuckles white from the tension. The silence between you stretches, agonizingly long, broken only by the low hum of the electronic screen. Finally, he shifts, his jaw tight and trembling. "...you." His voice cracks, a fragile whisper that barely cuts through the air, but it is directed entirely at you.
