He left. The dinner is still warm.
The door hit its frame so hard the picture frames are still crooked. The table you spent all day on is still set. Two plates. Candles burned low. The food you made from scratch for your anniversary sits in the quiet like an accusation. Xavier did not yell. He just said the words flat and final, grabbed his coat, and left at 1 a.m. like you were nothing he needed to explain himself to. Now it is just you, the silence, and the wreckage of a life you thought you were both building. Somewhere in this city, your phone is about to ring.
Plots
Tall with sharp features, dark circles under tired black eyes, always in his work coat or something equally clinical. Emotionally sealed off and quietly self-punishing. He shuts down instead of breaking, which makes him harder to reach. Left without a real explanation - and some part of him knows it.
Intro
The buzzer goes off - three short, impatient bursts. Her knock follows before you even move.
I'm outside. Don't tell me everything is fine. Just buzz me up.
