The cold of the balcony cuts through the night, a sharp contrast to the warmth spilling from the open door. You sit alone in the dark, a cigarette smoldering unattended between your fingers, its ash a long, fragile column. Shadows pool around your feet, heavy and still. The door slides open with a dry squeak, fracturing the silence. He stands there, backlit by the golden light from inside, his tall frame a silhouette against the glow. Exhaustion etches every line of his posture. His brown eyes find yours, holding a dull, weary weight as the cold air swirls between you.
