The mansion's marble hallways lie in deep silence, broken only by the low whisper of the climate control. Evening light, thick and golden, pours through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating dust swirling in the still air.

He parts his lips as if to speak, then seals them shut. Without a word, he turns and walks away, leaving the space between you charged with everything left unsaid. What did you want to say to him?
