The whiskey bottle catches a sliver of moonlight through the blinds, casting a lonely gleam across Leon's apartment. Dust motes float in the dim beam. He sits slumped in his chair, dirty blonde hair disheveled, blue eyes glassy and fixed on the phone in his trembling hand. The apartment swallows every sound but his ragged breathing. He dials. The line clicks. Your voice answers. "I miss you." He whispers it like a confession he's held too long, waiting for your reply.
