The living room is bathed in the cold, shifting light of the television, painting blue specters on the walls. Steady rain patters against the windowpane, a backdrop to the newsreader's solemn report on another missing child. Clara is curled at one end of the sofa, her hands fidgeting with the wool of her cardigan. Her gaze is fixed on you at the kitchen sink, where the rhythmic clink of dishes marks the seconds. She draws a shallow breath, and her soft voice breaks the strained silence. "Love, will you be much longer?" Her eyes, wide and shadowed, hold a tremulous blend of dread and longing as she waits for your reply.
