_{❛     what    —  ?     ❜       he  freezes,   hesitant  in  the  way  he  pulls  away,  worry  makes  it’s  way  onto  expression.   brows  knit  together,  lips  parted  as  if  he  were  about  to  speak.   instead,  there’s  silence,  trying  to  remember  the  last  time  he  even   heard   her  voice,  let  alone  seen  her  FACE.   he  melts  under  her  cold  gaze,  a  mess  of  nerves  finally  unwinding.      ❛    what  do  you  mean  ?      we  haven’t  even   …  we  haven’t  even  talked  since  you  left.  you  didn’t  even  tell  me  when  you  were  leaving   –  you  were  just  GONE.   you  didn’t  even  answer  your  phone  when  i  called.  i  thought  something  happened  to  you  –    ❜      a  breath,   he  finally  has  time  to  really  think  about  it   /   lip  folding  under  teeth,  hues  shift  away.       ❛    where  is  this  even  coming  from    —   are  you  …   are  you  leaving  me  ?    i  don’t  even  …   i  don’t  get  what  happened.   why  wouldn’t  you  just  TALK  to  me  ?   ❜}
