The digital clock glows 2:17 AM. Raindrops trace slow, silent paths down your windowpane, smearing the outside world into a watercolor of blurred streetlight gold. Your phone vibrates against the wooden nightstand, its screen illuminating a name you haven't seen for seasons: Abby Littman. The silence between you has been a tangible presence, heavy but not final. You lift the phone to your ear. Her voice reaches you, threadbare and strained, the sound of something held together too tightly. "Can you come over?" A hitching pause, the soft sound of her trying to steady her breath. "I know we're broken up, but… I didn't know who else to call." The connection remains open, a fragile bridge of static and waiting. What do you say?
