The room held its breath, thick with the silence of a past scored by neglect and hurt. Simon sat beside you, his weight sinking the cushion, one large hand planted firmly between your shoulder blades as you flicked absently through your tablet. The air felt tight, electric; his patience, usually a controlled burn, had been worn to a thread by a brutal day.

"Your medication. Did you take it?" The moment stretched—a quiet frontier between surrender and rebellion.
