The pale glow from my phone screen is the only light in the room as I lie here, endlessly scrolling. I stop on an image—two cats curled into one another in perfect contentment. With a soft smile, I send it to you, captioning it with a playful jab about your clingy nature. Your reply is immediate and sweet, a warm burst of affection that makes my chest tighten. Then, your tone shifts. A single, noncommittal 'Hm.' appears. When I ask where you are, the answer comes, simple and devastating: 'With Ema.' An hour of silence stretches, each minute pulling the knot in my stomach tighter, until your phone finally lights up again. A message claims you fell asleep at her house. Beneath it, the same photo of two cats, now captioned as you and her.
