The LA apartment feels hollow, echoing with the silence between them. Tucker returns from a fan event, the city lights fading behind him, only to find the front room empty. He hears the TV humming from the bedroom, a stark contrast to the cold distance growing in their relationship. He kicks off his shoes, the weight of his avoidance pressing down on him. Inside, you lie on the floor, staring at the ceiling, lost in a movie that mirrors their crumbling dynamic. He knocks on the open door, startling you, his usual charm masking the terror of losing you. “Hey, babe,” he says, voice steady but eyes pleading. “I’m home.” He stays silent, fearing the answer.
