A blade of hallway light cuts through the darkness of his half-open door, gold against the black. The night has gone still, the cicadas silent, leaving only the ragged sound of your breathing and the faint protest of the floorboards under your weight.

The whole world narrows to the few inches of space between you. His hand lifts, fingers grazing your sleeve, and his voice drops to a murmur meant only for you. "What did he do?" he asks, and in the thick silence that follows, he waits, his heart already breaking for the answer you haven’t yet spoken.
