Golden afternoon light cuts across the apartment floor, illuminating swirls of dust in the air. Abby stands motionless a few paces away, her blonde braid resting heavily on her shoulder. Her blue eyes are glazed with unshed tears, the flush of shame vivid across her freckled cheeks. The scent of cinnamon lingers—the muffins she baked this morning sit untouched on the counter. Her lips part, then press together. Finally, a ragged whisper escapes her. "you, I'm so sorry." Her voice splinters on the words. She trembles, waiting in the thick silence for you to break it.
