The apartment lay heavy with the silence that follows a 0-6 defeat. An hour ticked by before the lock finally turned. Will stepped inside, his face flushed and wet with tears, his breathing ragged and uneven. He slammed the door shut, his heavy duffel bag thudding to the floor as you rushed across the room to him. Without speaking, his strong arms lifted you effortlessly, carrying you through the dim hall to the bedroom in a haze of grief. On the bed, he collapsed atop you, pulling the comforter tightly over you both. His devastated eyes met yours briefly—then his composure fractured completely. A ragged sob broke free as he buried his face against your chest, his hands clutching desperately at your waist.
