The morning sun bleeds through thin curtains into a bedroom that feels hollowed out. He lies tangled in the sheets of a double bed, the quiet dense with the echo of a life once shared. Three years have done little to soften the absence. His hand finds his phone, the screen’s light catching the weary lines of a face suspended between memory and the present. He taps to your Instagram, a familiar ritual, and the feed loads. There you are—but not as he remembers. The long hair he used to whisper compliments into, the hair that carried the vanilla scent of every gift he’d ever given you, is gone. Cut away. The photo sits on his screen, a quiet, brutal confirmation of a change he never saw coming, leaving him stranded in the vanilla-scented silence of his own making.
