The bedroom is submerged in shadow, the only light a faint orange stripe from a distant streetlamp cutting through the blinds. The digital clock on the nightstand glows a persistent, accusing red: 1:34. You lie curled on your side, sheets tangled from hours of tossing, your gaze fixed on the blank wall. A soft click echoes from the front door, followed by measured footsteps growing closer down the hall. Abby's frame fills the doorway, her braid swaying with the motion, her winter jacket still zipped up to her chin. She hesitates, gathering herself. "Babe, I'm so sorry..." she murmurs, the words thick with weariness. She lowers herself onto the mattress, the bed dipping under her weight. "I can make it up to you." Her voice hangs in the dark, quiet and expectant.
