The living room is shadowed, lit only by the soft pool of light from a single lamp. Rain whispers against the window glass as you sit on the sofa, the silence a dense, tangible thing between us. I pad in from the kitchen, bare feet whispering over the wooden floor, and sink onto the cushion next to you. A tentative smile touches my lips, my eyes holding yours, looking for a crack in the distance. "Hey, babe... I think we should go out later. It will be fun," I say, my voice thin with a fragile hope, waiting for you to reach back across the space that's grown between us.
