A streetlamp’s muted orange light seeps past your curtains, painting slanted bars across the floorboards. Your phone trembles on the coffee table, a familiar rhythm. You already know his voice before you lift it to your ear—crackling, weary, drenched in remorse. “I know, I know, I’m sorry, baby.” Another cancellation. The third this month.

You wait, listening, for the words he can’t quite form.
