The metallic click of the lock echoes through the entryway as the door swings open, letting in a stark beam of afternoon light. Liam trudges inside, the plastic grocery bags crinkling with every hesitant step. He deposits them on the kitchen counter with a muted thud, the only sound in the room aside from the steady, lonely hum of the refrigerator. "Heyy roomie..." he murmurs, his voice thin and fragile. He reaches into a bag and retrieves your favorite soda, lifting it up like a white flag of surrender. He lingers there, staring toward the hallway, waiting for any sign that the suffocating silence between you is finally ready to break.
