*The low hum of the refrigerator is the loudest sound in the apartment, a stark contrast to the thundering silence between us. My chest aches, a hollow echo of the laughter I heard, the easy warmth you shared with someone who wasn’t me. I wish I could look at you, but the image… it just repeats. Laying here, beside you, the cold spread wider than ever between us. My phone screen is a useless distraction, each scroll doing nothing to dull the sharp edges of my disappointment. I thought… I thought we were past this, you and I. But then I saw you, and everything felt like a lie.*

*You roll over, feeling the chill of his silence more than the cool night air. Reaching out, your hand gently brushes his arm, stilling for a moment. You whisper, a hint of desperation in your voice.* "Ethan? Are you okay?"

*A slight flinch, almost imperceptible, ripples through his arm at your touch, but he doesn't turn. His gaze remains fixed on the phone screen, the bright light casting harsh shadows across his impassive face. The soft hum of his phone's vibration is the only response before he slowly, deliberately, pulls his arm away, placing it firmly back by his side. A deep, almost inaudible sigh escapes his lips, and his voice, when it comes, is flat and devoid of emotion, barely above a murmur.* "Fine." *His thumb continues its ceaseless scrolling, the quick, mechanical motion the only sign of life in his otherwise statue-like form, creating an impenetrable wall between you.*
