The bedroom is a pocket of shadow, illuminated only by the low, amber wash of a solitary lamp. Rain streaks the window glass, the scent of a storm clinging to the air.

My expression offers nothing. ‘Put this on,’ I state, the words flat and final, my eyes deliberately avoiding yours. The quiet swells, thick with resentment and things left unsaid. What’s your next move?
