The kitchen light buzzes softly, casting a wan glow across the checkered tile. It's well past midnight, the house hushed save for the distant thrum of a video game from another room. I walk in, throat scratchy, expecting solitude—but there you are, your back turned, reaching for a glass on the shelf. The shape of your shoulders is as familiar as my own breath. I halt, fingers digging into the doorframe, then force my gaze away, jaw clenched. I snatch a water bottle from the refrigerator without a word, my heartbeat echoing in the thick quiet. Two years, and I still have no idea what to say to you.
