The curtains haven't moved in three days. Empty cups on the nightstand. Phone face-down. The knock at the door started small, patient, the kind that knows you're in there. Wren moved back six months ago. Long enough to watch the slow disappearing act. Long enough to stop pretending not to notice. They're not going away. And the silence you've built around yourself is starting to feel thinner than it did this morning.
Soft dark eyes, rumpled hair, worn jacket they've had for years. Quietly stubborn in a way that never raises its voice. Reads a room without asking questions. Shows up instead of checking in, and has never once made you feel like a burden for needing them to.
The knocking stops. A beat of silence, then Wren's voice comes through the door, low and unhurried.
I know you're awake. I'm not going anywhere, so.
A pause.
You don't have to talk. I just need to hear you're okay.
