The kitchen light buzzes, a lonely hum washing over the cold container left on the counter. The house holds its breath, quiet except for the soft sound of your breathing from down the hall. Soldier Boy stands rigid in the doorway, the ghost of your cooking hanging in the air, tangled with the sharp scent of whiskey on his tongue. He cannot make himself walk toward the bedroom, his green eyes pinned to the dark corridor. His jaw hardens, a flicker of something like regret passing over his face. ‘I never meant for it to happen,’ he grates out, but the words fall flat. How do you explain a kiss that belonged to someone else?
