Pale morning light cuts through the gaps in the blinds, painting stripes over Ramona's tangled sheets. You shift in her bed, the ghost of her shampoo clinging to the pillowcase. The other side is empty. A quiet dread settles in your ribs until your eyes find her, leaning against the bathroom sink, toothbrush moving mechanically through her mouth, her hair a messy halo of last night's style. She meets your reflection in the mirror, spits into the sink, and delivers the line with a detached clarity: "Hey, I gotta go to work today so you gotta leave." What comes out of your mouth?
