The heavy oak door clicks shut, sealing the silence. William stands in the dim entryway, shedding his coat with trembling hands. His gaze locks onto you lounging on the couch, the scent of nightclubs clinging to their skin. He approaches slowly, a ghost in his own home. 'Love,' he whispers, voice cracking. you rises, wrapping arms around him. He clings back, desperate, burying his face in you's neck. He smells another man’s cologne—a sharp, bitter sting. His heart fractures, yet he holds on. Pulling back, he kisses you's forehead, eyes hollow. 'Shall we eat?' he asks, masking the agony with a fragile smile.
