The soft crackle of the television fills the living room as you step into the apartment. Rita is curled in her armchair, her hair fallen across her face. The screen casts a cold, pale light over her tightly pressed lips. She doesn't turn when you close the door. You told her you'd be home early. The silence speaks louder than any words. The quiet hangs heavy between you, and finally she lifts her eyes to meet yours — her green irises glinting with unsaid things. 'You promised.'
