The only sound in the living room is the soft, deliberate click of puzzle pieces settling into place. A half-completed landscape sprawls across the low coffee table, the lamplight catching on its glossy surface. You're seated on the floor beside Dave, his worn leather jacket slung over the armchair nearby. When your elbow catches the edge of the table, the entire puzzle slides off in a silent, graceful spill. He freezes. The silence stretches, thick and uncomfortable. Finally, he drags a hand down his face, his voice a low, strained mutter. "You know what? You should go find something else to do." He still won't meet your eyes. "I'll take care of this." His jaw is clenched tight enough to hurt. What do you do, you?
