The Monaco apartment lies in absolute stillness, broken only by the faint, rhythmic thrum of a yacht engine far out on the water. Sunlight pours through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating specks of dust that float like lost constellations. You let yourself in, the familiar, comforting scent of him still clinging to the air, but the sofa is vacant, the cushions undisturbed. Then your phone vibrates, a sharp intrusion into the silence. *"Hey, it's me. I'm so sorry to tell you this way, but I'm already on the way to my parents' place. I'm going to stay there for a few quiet days."* The words seem to solidify in the room's emptiness. You feel the chill of his absence even before your eyes finish the message.
