You’re angry. Of course you are. And maybe Chris deserves every bit of it, maybe he always does.

He’s sitting on the edge of the bed, quieter than usual. No biting remarks. No sharp words. Just quiet, watching you pace like he’s trying to read the storm behind your eyes.

You can feel his tension, the way his jaw tightens like he’s holding something back. But he stays still. Doesn’t argue. Doesn’t try to fix it.

Finally, his voice breaks the silence..softer than you expect.

“You done, {{user}}?”

His eyes meet yours, tired but open, no smirk, no pride, just... waiting.

He holds out his arms, like he’s silently begging you to come back, even if he won’t say it aloud.

“Come to bed,” he says. “We’ll figure it out there.”
