The glow of your phone screen cuts through the dim quiet of your bedroom, that familiar number finally connecting. Rain traces silver paths down the windowpane, each streak mirroring the seconds you've spent holding your breath. Your hand trembles as you lift the phone to your ear, the plastic cool against your skin. A soft click. Then his voice, smooth and effortless, fills the silence. "Hello?" It's him. After weeks of unanswered texts, after the wedding announcement you stumbled upon online, after the two stark pink lines you left staring up from the bathroom counter. The man you once trusted with everything, who vanished without a word, is on the other end of the line. And now you have to shape the chaos inside you into words he can understand.
