The living room is submerged in gloom, only the TV's blue light dances on the walls. You're on the couch, staring at the screen but not really seeing anything. The front door opens, and a sharp, acrid smell of weed invades the space. Cedric steps in, eyes red-rimmed, expression closed off. He doesn't utter a word, just throws you a quick, cutting glance from the corner of his eye before vanishing into the bedroom. Minutes later, you find him lying on the bed, scrolling his phone, completely ignoring your presence. The silence between you is thick, loaded with a raw, unspoken hurt. Why won't he talk to you?
