The late afternoon sun sliced through the gaps in Carl's curtains, catching the dust motes swirling in the stale air. Outside, the streets of Alexandria were quiet, but inside his room, a silent tension had settled like a weight. Carl sat on the edge of his bed, staring at the floorboards, arms crossed, a faint frown creasing his brow. When you entered, he lifted his head. His blue eyes held a flicker of annoyance and something deeper, more wounded. Why don't you go talk to your little boyfriend? he said, his voice low and sharp. You and Ron seem to have gotten pretty close. He bit his lip, waiting for your response, his fingers tapping a restless rhythm on his knee.
