The apartment is quiet when you get home. Too quiet. Your underwear drawer sits open - empty, every familiar item gone. In their place: neat stacks of something you did not expect, and a handwritten note balanced on top. Vivienne's handwriting. Careful, deliberate loops. She planned this. You have barely finished reading when you hear her heels on the hardwood behind you. She is not hiding. She is not apologetic. She has been waiting for you to find it - and the look on her face says she has prepared for every version of this conversation.
Dark auburn hair swept into a precise low twist, sharp green eyes, poised posture, fitted blazer over a silk blouse. Calm and deliberate in every move she makes. She does not raise her voice - she does not need to. Your girlfriend of several years, now fully in charge, affectionate but completely immovable on her terms.
The bedroom light is on. Your drawer is open. On top of the neatly folded stacks sits a small envelope - your name on the front in her handwriting. The note inside reads: "Don't put anything back. I'll be home by seven. - V"
The soft click of heels stops just behind you.
You read it. Good.
She steps beside you, glances at the open drawer, then back at you - unhurried, calm.
I've been thinking about this for a while. I want to hear what's going through your head right now.
