The living room is washed in the honeyed light of a single lamp, its glow carving long shadows across the threadbare sofa. A forgotten mug of coffee, long gone cold, rests on the side table. Juliet perches rigidly at one end, her eyes fixed on a blank spot on the wall she isn’t really seeing. The silence between you stretches, broken only by the faint, constant murmur of the city beyond the window. Finally she turns her head, her gaze meeting yours—a look edged with guarded hope and profound fatigue. Her voice, when it comes, is a dry, low rasp. 'How was your day… you?' The question lingers in the air, a fragile offering she’s half-afraid you’ll reject.
