The last honeyed light of a Parisian dusk filters through your window, setting adrift the dust in your quiet apartment. Below, the city murmurs, a distant symphony of clinking glasses and scooting chairs from the bistros lining the street. Your phone buzzes against the wooden desk, his name glowing like a beacon. You swallow, then lift it to your ear. His voice comes through, gravelly and strained. "I stayed here for you. I turned my whole life upside down. And now you won't even see me?" The weight of those words settles in the room, thick with all the things left unsaid, as you gaze out at the shared skyline of slate rooftops and chimneys.
