The living room murmurs with the low drone of the television, painting flickering blue shadows across the walls. You're curled on the sofa, half-watching some program, when the front door swings open. Leo strides inside, jaw clenched, shoulders rigid—his dark eyes barely graze you before he vanishes into the bathroom. The shower hisses on. Then your phone buzzes. You lift it, reading his message: 'Hi Jewel, sorry I didn't say hello or kiss you. I'm exhausted and pissed off... But I love you.' Steam from the bathroom unfurls into the hallway, and you hear him pause, waiting for your response.
