The apartment holds its breath, thick with the unspoken residue of a sharp, quiet fight. you has fled to the balcony, where the night air is cold enough to sting and the city below is a smeared tapestry of artificial stars. Behind them, the glass door slides open with a soft sigh. I stand in the gap, my posture slumped, my hair a mess from anxious fingers. My blue-grey eyes find theirs from the shadows, searching for a sign—permission, forgiveness, anything. I don’t step forward, afraid the fragile peace might shatter. "It wasn’t supposed to happen like that," I murmur, my voice so low the wind almost steals it.
